Airport Review by : Gan Yung Chyan

The much publicised Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) with the tallest Air Traffic Control tower in the world at 141.3 metres is as big as Changi Airport but the planners did not foresee the high passenger traffic that use the Fly-Thru facilities of AirAsia Group.
There is only one pair of toilets in the Fly-Thru area of KLIA2. Passengers have to queue up to use the toilets. The situation is worse than that in Suvarnabhumi International Airport because each toilet is smaller than a toilet of an MRT station in Singapore.
It takes up to 5 minutes to travel to the International Transfer Hall from the furthest aerobridge of the terminal. If passengers arrive from Pudong, it takes only 2 minutes to arrive at the hall. There are sleeping facilities outside the Customs and Immgration section as well as one cafe and two money changers.
Outside the Fly-Thru area, no one can see aircraft taxiing according to a passenger Chai. The area outside known as Gateway@klia2 complex is full of shopping facilities and restaurants.
KLIA2 is directly linked to the KLIA Ekspres train service to KL Sentral (XKL).
KLIA2 is the largest and only Budget Airport of Southeast Asia today that serves low-fare airlines only.
