Kuala Lumpur Transport & Bus to Genting

Travel to Kuala Lumpur? The main airport in the country is the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), which services the national carrier, Malaysia Airlines along with 45 international airlines. KLIA 2 is the new lost-cost carrier terminal. It was officially opened in May 2014, replacing the previous airport, LCCT. Both airports are situated in Sepang, about one hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur. Kuala Lumpur is also easily accessible from Port Klang, Malaysia’s largest seaport which is situated about 41 km away. An excellent road and railway network links Kuala Lumpur to Thailand in the north and Singapore in the south.

KLIA 2

KLIA 2 began its operations on 2 May 2014 as the world’s largest purpose-built terminal dedicated to low-cost carriers. Built with the capacity to accommodate 45 million passengers per year, KLIA 2 has 60 gates, eight remote stands and 80 aerobridges. It is equipped with ultra-modern check-in counters and immigration checkpoints. A source of pride for Malaysia, KLIA 2 has the world’s tallest air traffic control tower and it is also the first airport in the world to have a skybridge connecting the domestic and international terminals. It is the first airport in Southeast Asia to have a third runway. Airlines that operate from KLIA 2 include AirAsia and AirAsiaX, Malindo Air, Cebu Pacific Airways, Tiger Air and Lion Air. KLIA 2 is situated about 1.5 km away from the main terminal of KLIA. All modes of public transport are located at the Gateway@KLIA 2 complex.
