Construction expected to start on April 2014, and the terminal will be completed within 18 months. The current main terminal will be expanded as well! http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=634745123231140&set=a.365578883481100.86454.193189300720060&type=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prestley Shim 0 Report post Posted December 2, 2013 Many people would complain and shout about how or why KCH needs a new terminal. For me the current terminal is under-utilized except for certain hours of the day. And even if they wanted to expand the existing terminal it would be hard to do because from what I see, we do not have enough space. What with the DCA buildings on the left and the general aviation area on the right. So the proper solution would be to build a new one. Perhaps we Sarawakians should see this from a different POV. New terminal allows perhaps new routes and more passenger handling capacity, thus boosting tourism in the long run. But for the matter of maintaining those routes will be a different story. AirAsia, MAHB and the state government must have a plan to keep the whole thing future-proof. But even so, I am happy and I approve of the idea of a new terminal. Perhaps new spotting areas in the future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flee 5 Report post Posted December 2, 2013 If MAHB wants to learn a thing or two about how to design airports, they should visit Japan. Everything there works, even for plane spotters! New terminal allows perhaps new routes and more passenger handling capacity, thus boosting tourism in the long run. But for the matter of maintaining those routes will be a different story. AirAsia, MAHB and the state government must have a plan to keep the whole thing future-proof. But even so, I am happy and I approve of the idea of a new terminal. Perhaps new spotting areas in the future. Well attracting tourists is not just about capacity - just look at KLIA's LCCT. It was designed for 15m pax but now it is handling more than 20m. If there are things for people to come for, they will come even if the airport is lousy. Another good example is the super inconvenient and congested LHR. I think Sarawak has a lot to offer to both tourists and businessmen. If the Sarawak and Fed Govt. can put more priority in developing the state to make it a dynamic place, I am sure everyone will want to visit. Then, justifying a mega airport like Dubai will be no problem! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Muhammad Firdaus 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2017 KUCHING: The proposal to construct a Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) here has received support from Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah. He said an LCCT could help to facilitate the growth of the tourism industry in Sarawak. “If a separate LCCT building could expedite and facilitate the growth of tourism industry in Sarawak, of course it would be good to have it. “I do not have any detail on this yet. I need to check. If there is, it should be under the purview of the federal government unless the state government decides to be involved,” he said when contacted yesterday on AirAsia Berhad chief executive officer Aireen Omar’s recent statement that Kuching International Airport (KIA) had almost reached its capacity of five million passengers. http://www.theborneopost.com/2017/06/09/thumbs-up-for-lcct/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
