Malaysia Airports’ Initial Response to AirAsia’s Press Release Dated 5th Dec

December 6, 2011 flight2000it

We refer to AirAsia’s press release dated 5th December 2011. We have taken note of the contents of the release and the attached correspondences. For purpose of completeness, we wish to attach just two (2) letters at this stage that have not been included in the correspondences.

We also wish to highlight that so far a total of forty-seven (47) meetings have been held between Malaysia Airports and AirAsia since April 2010 until now to discuss and address all of AirAsia’s requirements. A workshop with all stakeholders including AirAsia was also held in September 2009 where the Needs Statement for klia2 was formulated.

The full agreed Minutes of these meetings will better reflect the detailed discussions held between both Malaysia Airports and AirAsia on the development of klia2.

It has always been Malaysia Airports’ view that in dealing with our partners, issues raised by either party are best resolved through proper consultation. However, from time to time, we are duty bound to make clarifications so that the public receive accurate information and a balanced perspective.

Over the past few weeks, there have been many issues raised in the media concerning Malaysia Airports. We have therefore made available the relevant clarifications through the media and on our website for reference. We wish to continue working closely with all our partners to address any issues that may arise and will do so through a proper working forum as we believe this is the best and most objective way to do so.

Malaysia Airports believes that any disagreements in public are neither good for the image nor in the best interest of the country.

We wish to categorically state that we have played our role to support the development of air travel in Malaysia and will continue to do so for the future.

WHY KLIA2 HAS TO BE BIGGER?

We have received many questions and comments on the size and facilities provided at klia2. There seems to be some misunderstanding and misconception on why we are building klia2 as a terminal for 45 million passengers with all the facilities that it is equipped with. We would like to share the information attached, to provide clarity on the matter for all concerned public and stakeholders.
