It’s uniquely a major hub to both network airlines as well as short haul and long haul low-cost airlines. The airport is one of the most well-connected in the world and would add a strong node to connect EMEA to APAC.

Now when Im looking at statiscit of that airport…just… That airport should come in game, it has so many parking spots, 3 runways and it is very nice located. I dont know why people want SIN, that is pretty close. Because of high status? SIN has few more parkings then KUL, but in my oppinion KUL just looks better.

If I had to choose between KUL and SIN. I’d take KUL too.
Both airports are cool, but I feel KUL has a more unique layout and terminal buildings.

Both KUL and SIN is ok for me, Even SIN much more popular, I really hope KUL will be next new airport in game.

Actually, SIN is popular as it has many attractions (Jewel)

Yes and what?! What will I look at there, some jewels, fountains? This is not playing games, but admiring some small things that will not even be in the game. I want a large airport that can accommodate many planes and where the game is interesting.

I’m just telling him what is the “jewel” I’m talking about

13

Yes, but if you want to talk about SIN go to the SIN post, where it belongs. This is for discussions about KUL.

@ukplanespotter757 I agree with you. Let’s talk about KUL here. And @WoA-Fan_Gab14 I know what kind of jewel are you talking about, but that small decorations and things inside of airport arent importaint for gameplay.

KUL got 16 years in row best world low cost airline by Skytrax which is Airasia. Airasia based at KUL T2.

This makes me want KUL. How many gates does this airport have?? Perhaps more than BKK?

17

according to ifatc, they have roughly the same amount of D, E and F stands. But KUL has about double the C stands as BKK.

KUL has a ton of shared stands tho, so idk how many can park at ones. Probably similar to BKK, but with a different layout
