In a travel advisory issued today, MAHB said the holiday season typically sees a surge in passenger traffic and arriving early will allow passengers to navigate through check-in, security and boarding processes with minimal delays.

KLIA Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 are expecting average daily passenger traffic movements of 79,200 and 66,400 people respectively up to the end of the year.

Currently, MAHB said KLIA Terminal 1 is in the midst of upgrading its baggage handling system as part of its asset replacement programme to enhance operational efficiency.

“This upgrade is a crucial initiative to maintain and improve the overall airport infrastructure and the ongoing works may lead to additional processing time at various points within the airport,” it said.

It added that passengers were encouraged to cooperate with airport and airline staff during this period and allow for extra time to accommodate any unforeseen delays.

“Malaysia Airports appreciates the understanding and patience of all passengers as these essential upgrades are implemented to ensure a safer and more efficient travel experience in the long run,” it said.
