Welcome to Malaysia's space-age international airport and the new home of Malaysia Airlines. Operational on June 30, 1998, KLIA is one of the most modern and sophisticated airport in the Asia-Pacific region. KLIA is a spectacular feat of construction that combines futuristic technology, Malaysian culture and the rich, tropical splendour of its natural resources.

Located within the Multimedia Super Corridor and close to the country's future administrative capital, Putra Jaya, the airport is approximately 75 kilometres south of Kuala Lumpur's city centre. It is accessible via the Kuala Lumpur - Seremban Highway/KLIA interchange as well as the Shah Alam/North-South Central Link Expressway. Drive time to the city centre is approximately 60 minutes.

Passenger flow is contained in three main complexes - the Satellite Building, Contact Pier and the Main Terminal Building. The Main Terminal Building is linked to the Contact Pier, while a fully automated train shuttles passengers between the Satellite Building and the Contact Pier. Check-in and Immigration are handled at the Main Terminal Building, while disembarkation and embarkation are handled at the Contact Pier and the Satellite Building.

The Satellite Building serves passengers travelling on international flights.
The Malaysia Airlines Golden Lounge, duty free shops, restaurants and other facilities, such as an 80 rooms hotel are situated in this building.

At the multi-level Main Terminal Building, six check-in islands with up to 216 counters are located on the Departure level. Also on this floor are duty free shops, restaurants and other facilities such as foreign exchange counters and telecommunication facilities. One floor down is the Mezainine Level, the central gateway for passengers bound for international destinations.

On the Domestic Level, arriving passengers move rapidly through 58 immigration and 26 customs counters as well as claim their baggage from one of the 12 carousels.
