SUBANG AIRPORT

Over the last few months, Subang Airport is one center of media attraction.

1. Air Asia, Malaysian own low cost carrier wanted the government to make Subang a hub for low cost flights.

2. MIGHT wanted the Government to make Subang the MRO hub. This call was first mooted in 1997.

Finally, the goverment decided to make Subang an MRO hub. And build a new low cost airlines terminal in KLIA Sepang.

Perhaps these decisions are more of a compromise after the bargaining and lobbying by both parties.

What about the travelling public? Are they in the circle when those decisions are made? Who represents them?

... only time will tell if we've made the right choices. The planners who are behind those decisions would know if their planning process has helped to increase the chances of the decision makers making the right decisions.
