Since resuming operations out of Subang in August last year, AirAsia has assessed passenger trends and operational needs. The conclusion is that KLIA T2 “offers the best platform to enhance efficiency and service quality.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Subang Airport was touted as more convenient for city-bound travellers. Given the increasing demand for Kota Kinabalu and Kuching routes, consolidating services at KLIA T2 is the \u201coptimal way forward,\u201d according to the airline\u2019s statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile Subang Airport has provided valuable proximity and easier access for city dwellers, KLIA T2\u2019s infrastructure supports connectivity and also offers the capacity required for continued growth and to mount more flights to serve the rising demand across East Malaysia routes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
