SEPANG, Jan 5 — Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak today announced that the new low-cost airport here, dubbed KLIA2, will be launched on June 28, coinciding with the launch date of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in 1998.

The premier said the airport was scheduled to be ready by May, but the operations would not be rushed as there were some teething issues to be solved before its opening.

“We should go through some of the teething problems with the new terminal and once it is ready, then KLIA2 will be fully operational.

“As a target, I have decided that it should coincide with the date of the opening of KLIA. Hopefully, I will have the opportunity to open KLIA2 on June 28,” he said.

Najib said this at the launching of a specially designed 1 Malaysia AirAsia aircraft livery to commemorate the start of the 1 Malaysia Integration Programme with AirAsia at the LCCT (Low-Cost Carrier Terminal) here.
