We gave prior warning of possible LCCT congestion, says Immigration Department


Passengers arriving at LCCT in Sepang had to endure long queues in cramped, uncomfortable conditions before they could clear the immigration checkpoint.

PETALING JAYA: The Immigration Department has issued a statement regarding Sunday's incident where passengers faced delays at the immigration gates at the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) in Sepang due to a lack of manned counters, which all airlines were informed of and knew about.

"The Government had directed operations at KLIA2 to start on May 2 and for LCCT to cease operations. However, AirAsia announced that they would only move on May 9," its director-general Datuk Aloyah Mamat said in a statement.
