Malaysia Airports says the improvements to KLIA’s third runway are to give air travellers a sense of assurance.
The project, under the KUL Runway Sustainability Master Plan, included overlaying works and improvements on the runway’s pavement drainage. Malaysia Airports group CEO Mohd Shukrie Mohd Salleh said they had decided to proceed with the rehabilitation works despite having to take on cost-saving measures in view of the Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on the aviation industry.
“The completion of rehabilitation works on Runway 3 is especially timely as we are starting to see a gradual increase in confidence in the safety of air travel.“On top of ensuring the safety of flight operations, we have also invested in technology that can provide a contactless and sanitised airport environment so that our guests can have peace of mind when they need to travel,” he said in a statement today.
