Alan B. 5 Report post Posted April 7, 2007 it seems the plan for the 2nd MTB is destroyed in the KLIA Masterplan... expecting KLIA will not reach its design capacity of 50million pax per year (with sat B built) in the foreseeable future? Maybe they have realised that the Low-Cost segment will make up the bulk of that 50 million pax. With the fast growth of AK maybe that 50 million may come even sooner.

Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted April 7, 2007 Location of permanent LCCT: hmm, I hope it is of a good quality structure and not shed-like if this is to be the permanent location... Although, looks like cowboy town and the concorde will dissappear... plenty more space around the tower and existing Pan-Pacific for more public infrastructure however! I'm sure there will be changes to the plan over the next few years since the commencement date is only given as 2012. What about Satellite "B" (i.e. D apron)? any word on that Fairul?

Sandeep G 1 Report post Posted April 7, 2007 Cowboy Town disappar... Gonna miss it... With this permanent LCCT, will the existing one be demolished or it remains? Becomes a Cargo complex. Was always designed with that in mind... although the walkways will be demolished I would say.. Perhaps AirAsiaLogistics!!!! Maybe AirAsia could even convert it into an A/C Hangar! Although, it would be far from where they would be operating! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Radzi 2 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 Yesterday I took off from runway 32L, full length available. Only a matter of time before 32L is open for landing again. (Yeah, weather station spotting, but hot lah, no shade. Must bring umbrella like Emperor) But I feel the surface is rougher and patchy. Maybe they should've fully resurface the whole runway.

kianhong 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2007 was told by the MAHB big boss that the new location for the permanent LCCT is as below...most prob. will start for construction after 2012 Huh!! This permanent LCCT is sitting right on the big outdoor carpark (for spotter, we usually go around this carpark when going to spooky spot) ?! Looks like spooky spot could be in jeopardy. IMHO, Pan Pacific and Cowboy town will remain there as the Pan Pacific is located between ATC tower and the outdoor carpark, while Cowboy town is further to the left (not in image). It would be interesting to see a/c taxing to both runway via bridges. Hehehe... Let's wait and see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BC Tam 2 Report post Posted April 21, 2007 (edited) If memory serves me right, the ones currently at BKI, the old old ones at KCH and those from Subang (apparently now reinstalled at various other airports in EM, eg. SDK) were purchased from Mitsubishi (Japanese) Nice to note that in the twenty years or so since, we can now manufacture our own. Not that these involve rocket science technology, but still a step in the right direction ! BTW Fairul, how involved are you with KKIA project ? You seem to have very detailed info available !! (Not only of KKIA mind you) Edited April 21, 2007 by BC Tam Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
