PETALING JAYA: The Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre (KLATCC) is now operating from its new base in Sepang.

Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the migration, which took place early on Wednesday , was a historical moment as the country's airspace has been restructured from seven sectors managed under the old centre in Subang to 14 sectors managed by the new KLATCC.

"These improvements are aimed at providing cascading lucrative returns to the country via the expansion of the aviation industry," he said on Facebook Wednesday. "By implementing the new KL FIR airspace, it would allow more aircraft to land during peak hours or premium slots, increasing the landing capacity at KLIA from 78 to 108 aircraft per hour, which is among the highest in the world," he said.

"The all-new airspace structure will provide a more efficient and seamless air traffic management, enhancement of KL FIR Surveillance Systems, and improvement of KL FIR Communications and Navigation Systems to enable Performance Based Navigation .
