He said the campaign carried out by low-cost carrier AirAsia to brand klia2 as LCCT2 was against the regulations of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).

“We cannot name a terminal at our whims and fancies as it was a registered name and the government named it as klia2, not MAHB.

“However, we cannot prevent them from calling it LCCT2 as it is freedom of speech, but they cannot put it on their tickets or counter notice board.”

Badlisham spoke to reporters after accompanying 108 children, who are tithe recipients from Sepang, for Aidilfitri shopping at the Alamanda Mall here today.

On complaints about cracks on the runway and water pooling on the tarmac, Badlisham admitted that the problems persisted until today.

“But unlike before, the problem has been reduced and we are still doing repair works.”

Commenting on the klia2 development plan, he said the terminal was built following discussions with stakeholders, such as AirAsia, just like the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCC2) before.

“The Changi Airport in Singapore and Don Muang in Bangkok also have budget airline terminals, but they do not call them low-cost terminals… They named them terminals 1, 2 and 3.”
