AirAsia and Sime Darby took reporters to the Labu, Negeri Sembilan site for its new budget terminal.
- Was told they say will move to new one, despite the criticisms, as KLIA has that ERL line which blocks planes.
Hello, we can send people to the moon and back, but cannot dig underground for the train to run or divert it elsewhere?
- And they said there are no details yet on whether the runway and airport control tower will be run by MAB.
- I want to know about inconveniencing passengers rather than improving connectivity.
- And I want to know why Malaysia must look so, so stupid having two airports close to one another.
- Mahathir asks why have four airports close to one another.
- Who pays for runway, airport towers? They said they don't know yet.
UPDATES 9.45PM
-------------------
- That old Insider article (now totally deleted) about the KLIA expansion is crap because there are swamp land all around it, is back!
This time, the arguments were presented by AirAsia, which also gave the argument about the elevated ERL line thing. So now we know who was the source of the Insider report. Insider was doing a foxy bit of PR for AirAsia.
Interesting this swamp land argument, because it means the KLIA was built on the same type of crap land! And will soon sink into the earth and everyone will die...
Also, following that argument through, it means that several projects in my KL neighbourhood which are built on former sewage treatment pond will soon collapse. How lembek can the land get! Years and years of sewage water, then someone poured earth over it and a year later they started building.
Again, we sent people to the moon and back, and yet cannot strengthen peat land, like what they did to KLIA. Hokay, boss you win.
- Wah, lucky the reporters who covered got good makan at Sime's upcoming posh Planter's Haven.
- My worry: There will be TWO control towers near one another. Tony gave reporters examples of other airports with runways close to one another. But we will have TWO towers. And when aircraft cannot all land at the same time in both KLIA and KLIA East@ TerjunDgnLabuLabunya, there will be a lot of airplanes flying on holding pattern above the skies of Sepang-Labu.
I hope they two towers control them quite properly. We need to know exactly how they will prevent air collisions!
- Who will pay for the extension to the ERL, the new proposed KTM line, new roads and highways into the area. Errr, taxpayers, right?
- But stupid me is being too negative.
Let me tell you what I LIKE about the Airport LabuLabi - it will be just 50km to downtown KL (cos nearer to PLUS highway which it will join).
That means just half an hour from, say KLCC (assuming no jam). Is that possible? I hope so.
I wish Tony the best though. He got balls challenging the Malaysia Airports guys, you know.
He got one prime minister to agree quickly, and brushed aside a former prime minister who built the KLIA just like you swat flies.
Even the unhappy transport minister cannot stop him, but that's another story I was told.

Bro, you were at the PC ke?... no matter how good the PR, cannot cover the fact that this is too much bull! :)
Hi
Can anybody help me answer these?
1. Who owns all the land, anybody making money, agriculture to commercial.
2. MAB runs the airwave? So wont they have to built the runway and control tower? Will Airasia then still owe MAB money :)) Pay up the current utang fist la!
3. Infra who built, roads to Labulabi? powerline? etc. Gomen?
4. Distance save, KLIA vs Labulabi 30km, what the traveling cost RM3-5?
5. Plane landing in KLIA and Labulabi, any cost difference, I think not.
6. Constructing the airport RM??billion, halo! who is the unofficial agent? ???% commission?
7. Labulabi will compete with KLIA, who gain? Malaysia lost!!
Please feel free to add the cons, cos I see no pros.
