Mushrif A 3 Report post Posted March 20, 2013 How about the passenger from Satellite terminal to the new LCCT 0.0 Of course, it's possible to walk the distance, if you have the clearance to do so airside; or as any normal pax, airside+landside...but it will be tiring.

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted March 26, 2013 I think it is because CIMB advertises its CIMB Niaga and CIMB Thai units at the red aerotrain. Rather surprised that HSBC did not jump first to do so in KUL, despite being the global trend setter for such advertisement. Or maybe HSBC's application was vetoed in favour of Maybank?

hafiz_tahir 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 Published: Thursday March 28, 2013 MYT 12:42:00 PM MAHB: KLIA2 on schedule to open on June 28 By Leong Hung Yee KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airports Holding Bhd (MAHB) says the klia2 - the new low-cost airline hub - is on schedule to open on June 28. The airports operator said on Thursday all efforts were underway to meet this target date. "MAHB is closely monitoring the progress of the work being done by the contractors," it said. Although some works by the contractors were behind schedule, they were ramping up their efforts to meet the deadline, it said. MAHB is employing 1,102 new staff for KLIA2, of which 746 are aviation security, 86 are airport fire and rescue services, 98 are engineering and maintenance and 172 are operations services. MAHB also said its managing director Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad Abdul Majid, who has been with the company since 2003, had requested the board seek a suitable successor. Bashir's contract ends in June. However, MAHB said the board would like Bashir to continue to guide the company through the current challenges facing the aviation industry. "The board will in due course identify a successor and will provide sufficient time for a proper transition. The board has deliberated the matter and has forwarded the matter to Ministry of Finance for its decision," it said. source : http://biz.thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2013/3/28/business/20130328124330&sec=business Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

alberttky 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2013 For big airport terminal opening the operational readiness testing should have been done by now. I was involved in Changi Airport T3 opening and we were done with testing 6 months ahead of operation. KLIA2 isn't even finished with construction. Then again, I suppose Malaysia boleh.

Alan B. 5 Report post Posted March 29, 2013 Almost every new airport opening has been chaotic, HKG, KLIA, LHR T5. You can plan to the max but come day 1, staff will still be unfamiliar the building and passengers like always when they enter an airport terminal will suddenly lower their IQ level, loose their common sense and will be unable to read signs etc. I believe a gradual opening would be more viable. Moving Tiger/Cebu first, followed by Malindo and finally AK group. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So I am hoping that the standard at klia2 will be better, a lot better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
