Skybridge looks great. It says it is the first in Asia, where else do they have this? Any pics?

 

First, we have a giant longkang where cars can go through (the SMART tunnel), now we have a skybridge where planes can go through underneath... amazing! hehehe

The most famous airport with a skybridge at the moment I believe is London Gatwick.

It is now confirmed that KLIA2's completion is delayed by 6 months from April 2012 to October 2012, proving that Uncle Tony's worries are valid after all.

 

KLIA2 dijadual siap Oktober 2012

 

LAKARAN artis terminal tambang murah KLIA2 di Sepang yang dijangka siap pada tahun hadapan.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

PETALING JAYA - Semua syarikat penerbangan tambang murah akan berpindah ke terminal penerbangan tambang murah tetap baru, KLIA2, yang dijadualkan siap pada bulan Oktober 2012, kata Menteri Pengangkutan, Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha.

 

Ditanya sekiranya ada pengendali penerbangan tambang murah yang enggan berpindah, beliau berkata: "Saya rasa mereka terpaksa berpindah kerana terminal penerbangan tambang murah (LCCT) sedia ada akan ditukar menjadi terminal kargo.

 

"Kerja-kerja di terminal itu rancak dijalankan dan dijangka siap menjelang tahun depan.

 

"LCCT sedia ada mampu mengendalikan hingga 15 juta penumpang setahun dan tahun lalu ia mengendalikan kira-kira 17 juta penumpang," katanya kepada pemberita pada upacara penyerahan Sistem Pemeriksaan Penerbangan (FIS) oleh Systematic Aviation Services Sdn. Bhd. kepada kementeriannya di sini semalam.

 

Memandangkan pertumbuhan pesat lalu lintas dalam sektor tambang murah, tambah beliau, kerajaan telah memberikan keutamaan kepada pembangunan segera terminal mega tambang murah bernilai RM2 bilion yang akan menampung keperluan perjalanan tambang murah bagi sekurang-kurangnya 10 hingga 15 tahun akan datang.

Uncle Tony is even boasting that he does not see KLIA2 coming online until sometime in 2013! He alleged that aircraft deliveries have all been postponed and more new planes will now be diverted outside Malaysia to their sister airlines!

 

We might hear of another postponement later this year - maybe into the timeframe when the A320NEO will become available!

KLIA 2 slated to open in October 2012

By Maizatul Ranai

Published: 2011/01/25

 

The new permanent low-cost carrier (LCCT), dubbed "KLIA 2", is scheduled for operation in October next year.

 

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Kong Cho Ha said the current LCCT in Sepang will be converted into a cargo terminal.

 

"Those low-cost carrier operators who are reluctant to move have to do it as we are converting the terminal for cargo movement," Kong said.

 

He said the KLIA 2 will be completed by next year.

 

"Work in the terminal and runways are so far progressing. We are expecting the terminal to be fully used latest by year-end of 2011," he added.

Kong said the new LCCT, which is sited on 243,000 sq m and 2km from the main Kuala Lumpur International Airport terminal, will be able to handle 30 million passengers a year. It can be expanded to up to 45 million passengers.

 

"A lot of people has complained that the current LCCT has become too overcrowded and congested. Last year alone, the terminal handled about 17 million passengers, beyond its capability of handling up to 15 million passengers," he said.

 

Kong was speaking to reporters at the handing-over of the Flight Inspection System by Systematic Aviation Services to the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, yesterday.

 

The mobile system, which can be installed in an aircraft to monitor the safety of aircraft traffic within the 22 air terminals in the country, can also be used in hangars or on runways.

 

He said the system, worth RM20.43 million, will increase the safety levels of civil fights.

 

He said a total of 820,000 aircraft movements were recorded by DCA traffic control towers nationwide last year.

From an investment bank report:

 

Furthermore, there will be more retail businesses coming soon.

(1) MAHB and WCT Engineering, under a build-operate-transfer mandate, is undertaking for the construction of Integrated Complex at KLIA2; and

(2) a factory outlet mall may commence operations in the outskirts of KLIA as early as 3Q11.

There is a construction opposite the mosque / MAB HQ, on the left side of the main road to MTB just after the flyover to LCCT / Salak Tinggi. Could this be the one?

There is nothing to say that people who opt to travel with LCC's cannot afford to spash out on an LV treat now and then :p

(yeah, get what you meant, just being pesky here :pardon: )
