  • Skybus Now Goes to klia2

    As AirAsia shifts its operation to the newly-built terminal klia2, it also moves its Skybus operation there.

    Tickets can be purchased at Skybus Counter at Level 1 (Transportation Hub) next to Exit Door 3. It costs RM 10 for one-way journey and RM 16 for return journey. It is actually a good balance between value and convenience for you to travel to Main Terminal Building (MTB) as well. According to the website, the promotion price is only available for limited time.

    We will update our Skybus page with updated information soon. For the time being, please head to Skybus website for information.

  • Fastest Way to Travel between KLIA Main Terminal Building and klia2

    The newly opened klia2 terminal not so far from the existing Main Terminal Building (MTB), Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). Before the new terminal opens, low-cost flights were operated at LCCT, a makeshift terminal modified from a cargo terminal. Facilities placement was improper and the previous LCCT was deemed unfit to cater unexpected growth of passengers. Besides, being a cargo terminal, connectivity with MTB is poor.

    The new klia2 has dedicated ERL tracks linking it to MTB and upwards to Kuala Lumpur city centre. Both KLIA Ekspres and KLIA Transit trains stop at klia2 terminal. Therefore, passengers can board either train to travel between MTB and klia2.

    RM 2 charge is required for the terminal transfer and it is payable by cash at the ticket counter or via usage of Touch ‘N Go card.

  • AirAsia Charges RM3 for “KLIA2 Fee”

    A recent move by AirAsia to pass RM3 fee charge to its customers who booked their flight starting from Friday onwards, according to The Star article, “AirAsia imposing RM3 ‘KLIA2 fee’, MAHB denies charge theirs by Christine Cheah”.

    Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB), KLIA2 operator, denied having such fees, “KLIA2 fee”. Instead, it is a fee charged by the operator to all airlines, not just AirAsia.

    AirAsia should absorb the cost and include it in its airfare instead of playing the blame game and pass it to consumers with the label “KLIA2 fee”, giving impression as if MAHB is being cruel by charging extra fee in addition to the existing airport tax.

    Instead, AirAsia should educate its customers on the reasons why they need to increase their fare. Customers are getting better experience (wheelchair-bound passengers are more than happy to use the aerobridge now) and check-in counters.

    With the establishment of KLIA2, we hope AirAsia will continue to prosper and be a leading low-cost carrier in the world.

  • Excessive Congestion at LCCT due to AirAsia’s Selfish Decision

    AirAsia’s decision to move its operation to KLIA2 only on May 9th has caused excessive congestion at the existing LCCT, Bernama reported.

    The decision to move only on May 9th instead of the assigned May 2nd move over date to KLIA2 is seen as selfish because AirAsia must comply by instructions from law agencies at all times with no exceptions.

    Several meetings between consulted parties have resulted in impasse between AirAsia and Immigration Department. Being a government department with limited manpower and resource, Immigration Department cannot make accommodations for AirAsia just because they disagreed with the proposed move over date while most other airlines have agreed to do so. The arrogant move by the company has resulted in tremendous amount of diffulties faced not just by passengers but various other agencies as well.

    Criticizing other agencies and the government is easy for a big and powerful company like AirAsia but we believe that all parties should help the country to grow into a better one and not condoning any form of bullying.
