Ibrahim 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 Just playing around at KLIA last saturday.. wanna share this what i saw at MTB laaa.. KLIA AEROPOLIS KLIA has a sizable landbank that spreads over 25,000 acres and is currently being developed to expand KLIA into a well balanced self sustaining, multifunctional airport city with an emphasis on greenery, airport safety and friendly environment. KLIA Aeropolis will showcase the effort to transform KLIA into a multimodal, multifunctional enterprise which will eventually become a diversified city with significant employment, shopping, trading, exhibition, business meeting, leisure and tourism destination on it own right. The Rendering... There the KLIA Aeropolis scale model.. same like what i found at LIMA but diffrent a bit laaa.. The close up logo and damn it... it damn big scale model. The Control panel.. you push the button light will flash out. Will come with close up pics later on... prepare your stomach. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Izanee 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 more money wasting schemes for the pockets of the 'chosen ones'. I am not sure if the opening of the KUL-SIN route be beneficial for KLIA or Changi. i'm still 50/50 on that! however, it will be beneficial for US. that is all that matters i guess...

Johan Lim 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) I think we can't just think of the present situation only. when MH joins any alliance, i foresee huge transit business and that's when these buildings could be used it'll be too late when KLIA is expanded only when there's a demand for it.

kandiah k 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 I think its best to have them manage the airport and run it well first before thinking of expanding their services. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yusoff 1 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 (edited) Laaaa, I thought you mean the MAB Police! Good work, Ibrahim. Was thinking the same too. some kind of police at the airport. thus the aero-polis, as in 'aero' and 'polis'. but forgot that 'polis' is 'police' in English.. hihihi..... Aeropolis, as in Megapolis (or is it Megalopolis?) Superb plan. 2 MTBs, 4 Sats, 5 rwys. Amazing... but when can we see our beloved KLIA be full of airplanes, with current situation...?

Irni Mastura 0 Report post Posted January 14, 2008 Haha.. I was at KLIA on Saturday morning too... and ironically I did took the same photos too Anyway, from what I noticed the KLIA scale model, the proposed new LCCT will be just next door to the Main Building, right? Somewhere next to the Pan Pacific Hotel.. me thinks. Does this mean that they're expanding LCCT business as well? And do they intend for the proposed Runaway 3, 4 and 5 to be catered for LCCT too?

Mohd Azizul Ramli 2 Report post Posted January 15, 2008 Above all, I see this exhibit as another 'play' by MAHB to make KUL a little bit more crowded. Because they failed to fill in the airport with travellers (as compared to BKK and SIN) and to attract more BIG airlines flying into KUL, they must think of something to make the 'white elephant' looks less 'white'. Hence, the exhibits! First, they have the fixed 'tunnel' displaying the evolution and the achievement of Malaysia's airports, which has teken quite a number of spaces at the center of the Main Terminal Building. Now this Aeropolis model, which I have yet to see how many square feets it acquired. I could foresee they'll allocated more spaces in KUL for perhaps... some hawker style vendors selling 'tudung' ala KL Sentral in the nearest future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Louis L. 2 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 yeah ...OBT hill is the best spot ..... make it open to public ...but scare once it is open to public , some ppl may do something " inappropriate" there , hence make it open for aircraft spotter only would be the best way :rofl: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The rubbish flew down to the runway. When I first went up there, I saw many ppl picnicking and using plastic sheets and lotsa newspapers as mats, and eating and drinking. When they left, the 'mats' were also left, plus other rubbish. Some of these ended up on the runway, which is no good. So there must a reason why MAB are not keen to open it to the public.

Kee Hooi Yen 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 I remember the observation hill was open to public during the opening of KLIA. It was closed during APEC summit in KL (Nov 1998, due to security reason i believe). Since then, it is never open to public again..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To end that... build a dedicated building or zone or a tower like i suggested.

Should we wear an ID? Maybe MW membership ID huhu..which make me thinking... is there such an organization for spotter registered with ROS?
