Labu LCCT to KLIA 2

It was initially suggested that new LCCT to be built at Labu, which is merely 50km from KL city compared to 78km for KLIA.

When Air Asia suppose to wholly owned or has main control on the airport by combining with Sime Darby. However, our Deputy Prime Minister, has cancelled it and introduce KLIA 2 which is beside KLIA.

It was said the main controller should be MAHB or government itself rather than private party. Thus, KLIA 2 came about.

The new LCCT is expected to be opened in April 2013 which roped in RM4billion. The airport is expected to attract more new low cost airline. Currently, it's conquered Air Asia and Air Asia X. The smaller portion is shared by Tiger, Airphil and Cebu Pacific.

The current LCCT will be going back to it's origin of cargo airport. Will KLIA 2 be still a fish market? Let's wait and see.
