KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is expecting an increase of nearly 16% in passenger movement through both the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and klia2 during the super peak period from now until Feb 13.
Group CEO Raja Azmi Raja Nazuddin said the expected rise in passenger traffic meant they would be serving about 196,000 passengers each day.
He added that MAHB had joined hands with the police, customs and immigration departments to ensure the safety of passengers travelling during Chinese New Year.
He said measures to be taken by MAHB included managing the increase of traffic flow at kerbsides for drop-offs and pick-ups at KLIA and klia2.
“We will continue enforcing the two-minute limit on pick-up time to prevent congestion and remind passengers not to park illegally along the main roads as this will endanger other motorists.
“We have also increased the number of personnel to ensure that the kerbsides are manned around the clock for smooth traffic flow,” he said.
Raja Azmi advised passengers to use the self bag-drop facility and self check-in kiosks at both terminals which will shorten the queue as well as waiting time.
“With the additional Malaysian immigration auto gates that were recently installed, I believe this will significantly reduce the queue time for all our passengers,” he added.
Ten new autogates, incorporated with the latest biometrics technology, were installed early last month to replace the previous six units at the international departure hall.
Raja Azmi also advised passengers to arrive at least three hours before their flight departure time.
“Do utilise public transport as much as possible in getting to the airport. It only takes less than 30 minutes by the Express Rail Link,” he added. -FMT
