Acerca de Kuala Lumpur International Airport

El Aeropuerto Internacional de Kuala Lumpur, comúnmente conocido como KLIA, es el aeropuerto principal de Malasia y uno de los mayores centros de aviación del Sudeste Asiático. Situado en Sepang, a unos 50 kilómetros al sur del centro de Kuala Lumpur, el aeropuerto se inauguró en 1998 y fue diseñado por el arquitecto japonés Kisho Kurokawa, con un concepto de "aeropuerto en el bosque" que incorpora zonas forestales tropicales entre las terminales. KUL gestiona más de 62 millones de pasajeros al año desde dos terminales: KLIA y KLIA2. KLIA atiende a aerolíneas de servicio completo, mientras que KLIA2, inaugurada en 2014, se dedica a las aerolíneas de bajo coste, especialmente AirAsia, una de las mayores de la región. El aeropuerto es el centro de operaciones de Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia y AirAsia X. El KLIA Ekspres ofrece un servicio directo a la estación KL Sentral en 28 minutos. KUL cuenta con tres pistas de aterrizaje. La ubicación de Malasia en el centro del Sudeste Asiático y la competitiva estructura de costes de sus aerolíneas de bajo coste han posicionado a KLIA como un centro de conexiones esencial para viajeros con presupuesto ajustado en toda la región.
