KLIA2 - New Mega Low Cost Carriers Terminal

[KK Lee 5]

The goons at MAB should watch Ultimate Airport Dubai on National Geo. Just amazing how things are done there.

 

Previous MAHB CEO was MAS EVP, MAHB culture is similar to the invincible MAS.

Dubai thrives on talents from abroad. They dont look at how well connected you are. Nor do they look at your race. You just need to prove you have what it takes. CEO of Dubai Airports is a Brit. The boss of ATC is a Portuguese. EK's VP of network ops is a German. On one of the episodes they even featured a Malaysian EK engineer. Their work culture is the total opposite to MAHB and MH.

As with any discussion on the net, pretty sure there is a lot of "noise"

 

If you guys only knew how MAHB works.

 

Just a small tidbit, sure DXB is great, but it doesn't need to make money. The government uses the airport for the multiplier effect on the country.

 

On the other hand, KUL does not even receive money from the government, and runs on its own.

if you have a management team that aim for meritocracy, you don't even need to look after for government fundings, coz you achieve good results and this brings in revenue. Things are different in Malaysia where meritocracy is merely a slogan, something that you say for fun but you didn't practice it in real fact. NATO.

If you find out how much MAHB is paying the gomen for their fixed assets (e.g KLIA), you may have different opinion.

MAHB was a 100% subsidiary of Khazanah before it was IPO'ed.

 

Who gave them the land to build KLIA and KLIA2? Where did the RM 8-9bn that was the original cost of KLIA come from?

 

MAHB is still a GLC, with all the GLC privileges.

I don't mean to enter the argument here...but I'm just wondering, are there any major airports in this world that did not start as a government development?

Can you recall which episode had the Msian engineer?

Also the captain of the 1st EK A380 flight to KL was a Malaysian too.

I would love to. But sometimes professional integrity is at risk. So maybe it is better to keep quiet

MAHB Completes New Grouting Injection Maintenance Method At Nine Locations

KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 8 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has successfully implemented a new maintenance method, grouting injection, piloted since August 2015.

It replaces the installation of precast slab and was successfully completed at all nine locations scheduled for works in 2015.

The airport operator said in a statement Friday, it had also resulted in the reduction of the occurrence of ponding at klia2, over the past two months.

Work at another two locations, originally planned for 2016, has been also been completed ahead of schedule.

"The remaining planned locations for grouting injection works scheduled for 2016 have now been reduced to 39," it added.

Grouting injection is a process of filling the cracks, voids or honeycombs, either in or underneath concrete with cement grout, to reduce the severity of a depression.

"It is our hope that by sharing this information, the public will have first-hand information and a greater understanding of the actual situation and not be influenced by speculation," MAHB said.

Raising charges needs more justification

 

AIRASIA Bhd’s boss Tan Sri Tony Fernandes seems all riled up for yet another battle with airport operator Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) over a potential raising of charges.

The battle between the two is akin to a soap opera that has been running for years, and this, some say, could be season 4 or 5.

Now everyone can cry

 

MAHB managing director contradicts Putrajaya by saying klia2 not a low-cost carrier terminal.

Other than the fact that MAHB is ~37% owned by Khazanah, I wonder why everyone keeps mentioning that klia2 is being funded by taxpayers? Hoping for some enlightenment.

So the cat is out of the hat: KLIA2 is not meant to be low cost.....and MAHB expect passengers and airlines using it to bear the cost of grandiose project. Lolx......this should silent some critics here.

[jani 0]

From the get-go, it was clearly stated klia2 is not low-cost. The cat has never been in the box.

Taxpayers may not fund MAHB directly but MAHB have privileges that non-GLC couldn't enjoy e.g. MAHB sukuk, bonds coupon rate is Malaysia sovereign rate.
