Airport: KLIA
The new Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in Sepang (opened in June 1998), about 50km south of the nation's capital of Kuala Lumpur, sprawls over an area of 10,000 hectares. This mammoth airport is one of the largest in the world, and also one of the most advanced. It is positioned to be the preferred regional hub and transit point linking the world to the rest of Southeast Asia and the Asia Pacific. KLIA forms the southern tip of Malaysia's Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC), and showcases state-of-the-art airport technology as one might expect from a facility within the MSC. Use of leading edge technology, such as the Total Airport Management System, fully automated baggage handling and reconciliation system, tracked passenger transit system, and moving walkways, is aimed at reducing walking distance and transfer time for passengers. MASkargo's Advanced Cargo Centre within the KLIA is a benchmark in terms of precision, reliability, safety, efficiency and speed of cargo handling.
