Airport city planned near KLIA


MAHB plans to develop the lowcost terminal site into a logistics hub for cargo facilities once main tenant AirAsia relocates its headquarters, Faizal says.

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd plans to convert some oil-palm plantations surrounding Kuala Lumpur’s main air terminal into attractions such as theme parks, concert halls and golf courses to lure businesses and visitors.

A factory outlet venture with Mitsui Fudosan Co, Japan’s biggest developer, would open in the area next year, and new towns had sprung up near the airport that would help the zone dubbed KLIA (KL International Airport) Aeropolis grow, chief financial officer Faizal Mansor said in an interview.
