Airasia flights operate in KLIA2 from 9th May 2014 while 5 others from 2nd May
The highly anticipated and long awaited new Low Cost Carrier Terminal, KLIA2, has finally opened for public viewing on last Sunday, 27th April 2014. It will continue to open for public viewing until its official operating date of this coming Friday, 2nd May 2014. The soft opening of the new KLIA2 wowed thousands of visitors who came on last Sunday, albeit being delayed for more than 2 years.
That said, only 5 low cost carriers are confirmed to operate in KLIA2 starting this 2nd May 2014. They are Lion Air, Tiger Airways Singapore, Cebu Pacific Air, Malindo Air and Indonesia’s Mandala Airlines. The angle carrier, the largest low cost carrier in the region and the best budget airline in the world, Airasia and Airasia X, had only set to move and operate in the new KLIA2 on the 9th May 2014, Friday, a week later. So please take note and I have to stress this once again: Airasia flights operate in KLIA2 from 9th May 2014
For the highlights of travelers who are departing from or arriving at Kuala Lumpur Malaysia during the transition period, here are notifications highlighted by Airasia and KLIA2 earlier for your immediate attention.
All scheduled departures from the LCC Terminal (LCCT) on May 8 will operate as normal.
Guests with bookings departing Kuala Lumpur on that day are advised to still go to the LCCT to board their flights.
All AirAsia X (D7) flights will still be departing from and arriving at LCCT on May 8, including flights departing on May 9 to Perth, Osaka, Busan and Jeddah at 12.05 am, 1am, 1.15am and 2.35 am respectively.
However, a number of AirAsia (AK) flights will be arriving at the new KLIA2 directly on May 8, instead of the LCCT.
Domestic flights arriving at KLIA2 on May 8 include those departing from Kuala Terengganu, Kota Baharu, Tawau, Bintulu, Alor Setar, Johor Baharu, Sibu, Miri, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching and Penang.
International flights arriving at KLIA2 on May 8 include those departing from Macau, Nanning, Kunming, Lombok, Ho Chi Minh City, Phuket, Bali, Shenzhen, Yangon, Guangzhou, Medan, Trichy, Kochi, Kolkata and Chennai.
With a larger built-up area and a brand new experience, AirAsia baggage-drop counters will be open three hours before scheduled departure time, and will close an hour before scheduled departure time for both international and domestic flights to ensure that all guests have ample time to familiarise themselves with the new environment and get to their departure gates on time.
AirAsia strongly encourages all guests to conduct self check-in via web or mobile before arriving at the airport.
As all immigration and security counters will still be operational at the current LCCT on May 2–8, travellers need not worry about any inconvenience while going through the LCCT during the transition period.
