Stakeholders give the thumbs-up for new terminal plan

GEORGE TOWN: The plan to build a low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) in Penang has been positively received by stakeholders in the tourism industry as it not only offers a solution to the increased air travel demand but will also boost comfort and convenience for passengers.

Those interviewed not only believe that an LCCT will be an additional option for those taking flights, but they also see it easing up congestion at the Penang Interna­tional Airport, which has reached its capacity of 6.5 million passengers per year.
