Background

The Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) is specifically built at KL International Airport to cater to the growing passengers of the Low Cost Airlines, especially the passengers of Malaysia’s first ‘no-frills’ airline, Air Asia. It is located 20km away from the KLIA Main Terminal Building (MTB). Construction of the LCC Terminal was on a fast track basis beginning June 2005 at an approximate cost of RM 108 million.

The 35,290 square meters terminal is designed and built to suit the Low Cost Carrier (LCC) business model that requires basic terminal facilities and amenities. With this in mind, the terminal is designed to facilitate the passengers’ movement of international and domestic departures/arrivals within a single floor operation area. Thus it doesn’t require travellators, escalators and aerobridges to be provided at the terminal.

The operation of the LCC Terminal is supported by the existing parking apron and additional infrastructures such as car parks, surface access, kerbside road and other utilities. This terminal is capable of handling 10million passengers a year and there is scope for further expansion of up to 15 million passengers, if required in the future.

LCCT-KLIA was opened in March 23, 2006. It is an extension of the existing facilities of the KLIA. In Nov 2006, LCCT-KLIA was voted CAPA Low Cost Airport of the Year in the CAPA Aviation Awards for Excellence.
