24. LCCT Bursting

(updated version)

The LCCT in Sepang is already overcrowded and is taking a toll on facilities and services.

It is now the holiday season with passenger traffic even higher.

Is there no head or a department at the airport to look and report on such problems before it comes to a crisis?

This is the case in many Government Departments not just LCCT. And the problem is never reported or action taken.

It infuriates the public. The consumer suffers.

After the problem is highlighted in the press (NST), Datuk Tony Fernandes acknowledges and suggests remedies.

If he can close his eyes and buy 200 aeroplanes, why cannot MAHB provide him enough space to turn around those planes and people? Shame on you MAHB. Utterly disgusting!

A spokesman for MAHB, which runs the airport said there are plans to expand the terminal while a new LCCT is being built. But it is all too late!

Don't complain about Tony's planes coming in late for operational reasons beyond his control, when you cannot even build an airport or provide facilities on time.

Let not people stop flying because of a bad airport. It should only be for a bad airline!

Can't the authorities be more proactive and solve a problem before it comes to a head.
