Kuala Lumpur International Airport's eagerly awaited new low-cost carrier terminal, klia2, is set to open for business on May 2. The size and capacity of klia2 - it covers 257,000sqrn and is equipped to handle up to 45mppa - will instantly make it the world's largest dedicated low-cost carrier terminal. Unlike its predecessor, the new LCC facility will boast an assortment of facilities for passengers that include dozens of shops and restaurants, which have led the airport to describe it as "an airport within a mall". Puan Faizah Khairuddin, the airport's senior general manager for commercial services says: "Klia2 is constructed with one of the highest percentage of retail space offered by any commercial airport. Around 12% of its gross floor area (GFA) is dedicated to customer fronting commercial offerings - approximately 60% of which has been earmarked for retail and 40% for F&B.
