MAHB quashes AirAsia's LCCT2 campaign plan

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd says KLIA 2 is neither an independent airport nor a hub but the KL International Airport's (KLIA) second terminal and is a crucial component of the KLIA hub.

"Although KLIA 2 is currently mainly used by low-cost carriers, it is designed to cater to all types of airlines as it supports the overall KLIA capacity," the airport operator said in clarifying its position in regard to AirAsia's plan to promote KLIA 2 as LCCT2 and promoting it as a low-cost hub.

Earlier today, AirAsia's Group Chief Executive Officer Tan Sri Tony Fernandes announced that the airline would launch a campaign to promote KLIA 2 as LCCT2 (Low-Cost Carrier Terminal 2), reinforcing Kuala Lumpur's position as the leading low-cost gateway to Asia and beyond.
