KLIA to be world’s first airport with radio station

SEPANG: The KL International Airport (KLIA) will be the first airport in the world to have a radio station to serve its 25 million passengers and 13 million listeners in the Klang Valley.  

The radio station, Fly.fm, will be launched on June 30 in conjunction with KLIA's seventh anniversary. It will provide up-to-date information on KLIA events and airline flight schedules as well as travel tips.  

“We will be focusing on travel and tourism, but of course, we will provide music and entertainment as well,” Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd managing director Datuk Bashir Ahmad said.  

He said the radio station, broadcasting on a frequency of 95.8FM, would be available on the west coast of the peninsula by the end of the year.  

It will be run by Max-Airplay Sdn Bhd (MAX) with financial backing from Media Prima Bhd.  

MAX chief operating officer Azman Shah Mohd Yusof said the station would broadcast in Malay and English.
