Passenger connectivity between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is set to commence in either the second or third quarter of this year, said transport minister Anthony Loke, reported The Star.
The first phase of the passenger connectivity programme would involve passengers without checked baggage, the transport minister told The Edge. “The more complex part is handling passengers with check-in baggage, which involves coordinating different airlines and ensuring the baggage transfer system works seamlessly. That will come in the second phase,” Loke said.
The key is to manage immigration and security checks efficiently, said the transport minister. “All airlines have agreed, and the goal is to streamline connectivity while maintaining proper protocol,” he continued. Meanwhile, the upgrading of the baggage handling system at KLIA, a three-year programme, was expected to be completed last December, however it is still a long way from completion, he added.
Airside connectivity between terminals was proposed to enable passengers arriving at Terminal 2 to transfer to flights at Terminal 1, and vice versa, via coach services, thus bypassing the need to clear security screening and streamline flight connections and improve the passenger experience as a result.
