Mounting Delays For KLIA 2

Not many Malaysian are aware that KLIA 2 is delayed for 5 times.
These are the supposely completion dates and the delays. The latest target date is Mar 2 , 2014.


- 1 - first target sept 2011
- 2 - Apr 2012
- 3 - Oct 2012
- 4 - May 2013
- 5 - Jun 2013
- 6 May 2, 2014

Based on the track records, it is doubtful that the new target date of May 2014 will be met.

It was reported that the blame is on MAHB since the project is wholly undertaken by the company. However, a lot of the details may not be revealed to the public. Although it is managed by the MAHB, I doubt that the company is allowed to make the salient decisions. Based on the experiences with MAS, when MAS bought the B747 with different versions of engines, a decision where no airline would have made. Decisions were made at the higher levels and beyond the company. We are not privy to the process of short listing and selection of the main contractor. The contractor UEM is not a stranger to the local scene.
