		Background of LCCT
		The first purpose built Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) was specifically built at KL International Airport to cater to the growing passengers of the low cost airlines, especially the passengers of Malaysia's "no-frills" airline, AirAsia. Construction of the LCC Terminal was on a fast-track basis beginning June 2005 at an approximate cost of RM 108 million. The 35,290 square-meter terminal is designed and built to suit the low cost carrier (LCC) business model that requires only basic terminal amenities. In order to offer lower landing fees, handling fees and airport taxes, it cuts back on amenities such as aerobridges, elaborate physical structures and decorations in the passenger terminal building. There is no transfer facility at the LCCT. Passengers who need to make transfers need to clear immigration, collect their luggage, clear customs, make their way to the main terminal and re-checkin with the respective airline. The LCCT is located on the opposite side of the apron from the Main Terminal Building, near the air cargo area. By road, the LCCT is about 20 km from the Main Terminal Building. However, the current Low Cost Carrier Terminal is a temporary solution for the increasing demand of no-frills airline passengers. Therefore, Malaysia Airports Holding Berhad has incorporated the plans to build a new permanent LCC terminal which can accommodate 30 million passengers per annum . In the mean time, the airport operator decided to expand the current terminal to cope up with the increasing demand. The new arrival hall was first open on December 15, 2008. This airport was the first airport to have separation between normal carriers and low cost carrier. This terminal is managed and operated by Malaysia Airports (Sepang) Sdn Bhd.   Facts & Figures Total Size of the terminal 35,290 sq meters Check in area   2,650 sq meters International Departure Hall   3,240 sq meters International Arrival Hall   4,340 sq meters Domestic Departure Hall   4,430 sq meters Domestic Arrival Hall   1,900 sq meters Public Concourse Main Area   4,355 sq meters Public Concourse International Arrival area      325 sq meters Common, Ramp and circulation   6,760 sq meters The LCCT have 72 Check-in counters (52 check-in baggage counters & 20 check-in no baggage counters) International Departure International Arrival Domestic Departure Domestic Arrival 3 sets of check-in baggage screen machine. 12 departure immigration counters. 2 immigration auto gate lanes. 8 boarding gates. 4 international arrival gates. 12 arrival immigration counters. 2 immigration auto gates lanes. 2 arrival baggage carousels. 6 arrival custom counters. 3 sets of hand luggage screening machine and walk-through metal detectors. 12 boarding gates.
