That's really big. hopefully it won't be underutilised, otherwise it's condition will be in a sorry state very soon (maintenance cost should be quite high)

I am at KLIA main terminal (domestic terminal) right now - 10am and I notice that the occupancy is very low. I wonder why MAHB didnt want to offer AA to relocate some of their planes to KLIA (from LCCT).

airasia dont want pay airport tax and jetbridge,

KLIA airport tax is different than LCCT

I think that's the main reason.

Do you mean that MAHB will not tax AA some more for using the new KLIA2 2yrs later?

That's really sux for those who is flying with AA and wish to continue their journey with mas and also pax who is traveling in the other way round ...

Haha, I remember what response I got during GLC open day.

Me : Is there any plan for aerotrain extension to KLIA2?

MAHB man : At this moment, not being planned

Me : Oh, sounds inconvenient to me

MAHB man : Got ERL extension ma...

Did he mean that the ERL service between KLIA2 and KLIA will be free of charge?

No way.

KLIA2 to KLIA will be RM 2.
*
It sounds like there will be 2 separate airports which located next to each other.

ops.. i think that's the whole project about - building a brand new airport - rather than expanding the existing capacity by a new "terminal".

correct me if im wrong...

So, after completion we will have 3 runways is it?

Still a terminal rather than airport.

It still has the same "KUL" code.

The KLIA2 project does include the third runway.
*
Since they are a single entity, MAHB should have named the extension as terminal 1,2,3... and provide free transportation to interconnect one another.

Anyway, RM2 is considered affordable....

The group of engineer that studied the topographic before they constructed KLIA 15years ago discouraged the future engineers to build anything on certain plot of land nearby the airport because of the presence of unfavorable soil type. Today, the 3rd runways sits right on top of it. Cost overun could be attributed to this stubborn decision.... Source : YouTube >> lim guan eng >> klia2

That was the plan until LCCT "appeared"

The old plan by the late Kisho Kurokawa had been modified.

This is very obvious... at least we should follow the architectural design of KLIA... doesn't seem to be integrating well into the current design

+9.

KLIA2, i m involved in the prelim construction works.. the earthworks there simply ???? we hv to sheetpile the perimeter. cause it's all peat. a whole lot of mofo deep peat

If the design is not well done. I think settlement is likely to happen in DEEP peat.

Bear in mind that the intended life cycle of KLIA is 100years. Hopefully, there will be no differential settlement in the next 100 years lor... otherwise, more $$ needed...

This is what the rakyat have been questioning... Why can't AA move to KLIA? Who's blocking AA from moving into KLIA?

Don't tell me that Malaysia Airlines (MAS) owns Malaysia Airport Holding Berhad (MAHB) and MAS can dictate MAHB's decision.

Then why did they come out with another airport design, shouldn't MAHB follow the KLIA design for consistency and harmonious integration of design. Sometimes, i just cannot brain why malaysians do things in certain ways....

because KLIA design is not MAHB's and to reappoint the same consultant is a waste as the consultant in question may play2 in prefessional fees...

an os why's teh need for consistency.??

I heard that there's no connectivity between klia and klia2... both cannot integrate into 1 piece...

wht u mean by connectivity?

physical connetivity? nope. the buildings are hundred meter apart.
transport wise connectivity? yup. u can board the ERL from KLIA to KLIA 2 and vice versa.
flight connectivity? nope, youve got to go through the immigration (for internationals) get off the arrival halls and board the ERL, airport cab, busses or ur  own transport to go to KLIA2 and hv urselves checked in and vice versa.

QUOTE(Kampung2005 @ Jun 20 2012, 10:00 AM)
I think there is one flaw in terms of connectivity between KLIA and KLIA2.

ERL is mainly for transport to KL, I don't it is convenient for a transiting passenger to transfer between terminal using ERL. MAHB should have extend KLIA Aerotrain for inter-terminal transport.

kampung says wat i want to say...

Anybody knows the utility rate of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport? AA can just be relocated to there actually...
