KLIA Aeropolis a major boon

Greener pastures: Liow looking at a model of the Aeropolis during the launch of the project. Accompanying Liow at the event in Kuala Lumpur are Badlisham (right) and Malaysia Airports Chairman Tan Sri Dr Wan Abdul Aziz Wan Abdullah.

KUALA LUMPUR: The KLIA Aeropolis is expected to attract a gross domestic product (GDP) contribution of some RM30bil over a 15-year period and create 56,000 jobs. It will complement services offered in other regional airports.

“We are not competing with Changi Airport as we are synergistic. “We are the regional airport and we are working together with other countries.

“We are quite a big region so we will definitely do well in our air cargo area as we are creating more facilities, putting up more plans and support system for the air cargo site,” said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai at a press conference after Malaysia Airports Holding Bhd’s (MAHB) launch of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Aeropolis yesterday.

Liow said with the KLIA Aeropolis project, Malaysia is focused on increa­sing its cargo and logistic traffic.

The country is targeting to increase its cargo volume bby between 2.5 million to 3 million tonnes by 2050 from 726,000 tonnes now and aims to catch up with Singapore’s 1.5 million tonnes of cargo annually, Liow added.

He said the Government has placed a greater concentration to ensure the successful development and completion of the KLIA Aeropolis.

With aviation being a key pillar of the logistics sector, Liow said the inter-ministerial National Logistics Taskforce (NLTF) was keen to see this come to fruition.

“The NLTF is being headed by me and my ministry, and we are equally committed to ensuring synergy between the nation’s logistic industry and the KLIA Aeropolis project.

“With this in mind, there have been close engagements between Malaysia Airports, NLTF, and the Malaysia Aerospace Council,” said Liow.

MAHB managing director Datuk Badlisham Ghazali said there was enough demand generated in terms of growth in air travel. More air passengers would require more planes, spare parts and maintenance.

Badlisham said the KLIA Aeropolis would serve as the core of Malaysia Airport’s air cargo and logistics ecosystem that extends to Penang and Sabah and Sarawak.

The KLIA Aeropolis development is centred around the key clusters of air cargo and logistics; aerospace and aviation parks; meetings, incentives, conferences and events (MICE), and leisure.

The project, on a total land area of 100 sq km, is one of the strategic pillars in Malaysia Airport’s five-year business plan, Runway to Success 2020.

Malaysia Airlines to add two more Airbus A350s

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines Bhd is adding two new Airbus A350-900s with Air Lease Corporation (ALC) which will be delivered in 2018.

The national carrier said on Monday it had exercised the lease option for a 12-year lease agreement for the two new planes.

“The transaction is pursuant to the option provided under the existing Lease Agreement for the four (4) A350-900s signed by both parties in September last year,” it said.

The A350 aircraft are from ALC’s order book and they will be delivered in 2018. They will be powered by two Rolls Royce Trent XWB-84 engines. 

Malaysia Airlines’s CEO Christoph Mueller said the additional two Airbus A350-900s will complement the existing four (4) that is on order to reach a critical fleet size, allowing standby aircraft for any scheduled maintenance and enabling future network expansion. 

“Technological and innovative advancements make flying this aircraft a real pleasure and it will bring a whole new experience to our offerings, with the aircraft able to operate non-stop from Kuala Lumpur to London and throughout Asia.”

ALC chairman and CEO Steven F. Udvar-Házy said in addition to the four A350-900s placed by ALC last year, “we are confident that these two additional A350-900 aircraft will further maximize Malaysia Airlines’ business operations as well as global growth”.

Fate of Rayani Air to be decided soon - Liow

KUALA LUMPUR: The transport ministry will soon decide whether Rayani Air should continue operations after the syariah-compliant airline was suspended for three months following a string of controversies.

Minister, Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said he had received the final report on Rayani Air and was waiting for a date to decide on the (outcome) of the hearing.

"Final report given to me. I will make a final decision on Rayani Air very soon. The report is ready. I am waiting for a date to decide on the decision of the inquiry," he told reporters after launching the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Aeropolis here today.

The final report was prepared by the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) after an inquiry session with Rayani Air founder, Datuk G. Karthiyani at the DCA headquarters in Putrajaya on May 12.

Previously, the DCA suspended Rayani Air for three months, beginning April 11, following which the DCA undertook full administrative and safety audit of the airline's operations to assess its compliance with the Air Operator Certificate.

Meanwhile, Liow said the ministry would call Tourism Malaysia chairman Wee Choo Keong for a detailed explanation on his alleged action during the recently concluded 4th China (Beijing) International Tourism Expo 2016.

"I think, as a nation, we should promote tourism and we should promote airlines flying in Malaysia when we are abroad. I would like an explanation from him over his action," he said.

Liow was commenting on Wee's alleged tantrums at the expo in which he had lashed out at his staff after seeing that an AirAsia bunting was put up alongside other promotional materials at Tourism Malaysia's booth.

On the vanished Malaysia Airlines MH370 jetliner, the minister said the search operation continued in the southern Indian Ocean and as of today, more than 105,000 sq km had been covered.

"As I said earlier, two pieces of debris discovered in South Africa and the Mauritius Island of Rodrigues are almost certain to have come from the missing aircraft, based on the serial number.

"Let us complete the search operation up to 120,000 sq km area and not make any assumption," he said.

Flight MH370, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew, disappeared from the radar during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014.

The KLIA Aeropolis by Malaysia Airports is an ecosystem development that is synergistic with the airport business, and one of the strategic pillars in Malaysia Airports' five-year business plan, Runway to Success 2020.
