Four years later, all jet-operated domestic flights by national carrier Malaysia Airlines and its low-cost rival AirAsia were also moved to KLIA to grow air passenger traffic and increase ridership on the KLIA Ekspres, the fast rail link that connects the capital city to KLIA. From Aug 1, six airlines began operating narrow-body passenger aircraft at Subang Airport. They include Singapore low-cost carrier– which will launch a Changi-Subang route from Sept 1 – Malaysia’s Firefly and AirAsia, and Indonesia’s TransNusa.
To accommodate this increase in volume, new boarding gates, immigration counters, check-in counters and self-service bag drop facilities were added in June 2024. “We had a Komuter Skypark Link that was not so widely promoted. Bus, taxi and e-hailing services need to be improved,” he said. While travellers welcome another airport option, residents living around Subang will have to deal with heightened noise from the revived airport.
