The Government said the new terminal could cater for up to 30 million passengers a year, would be built close to the KLIA at an undisclosed amount.
Unlike the existing low cost carrier terminal (LCCT) where linkages are only by road and air, the new LCCT will also be linked by rail as the Express Rail Link from KLIA and KL Sentral.
The two airports will also be linked by a sky train, Malaysian reports said.
The idea for a new airport was made by the Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd and recent reports said it might manage it as well.
Currently, AirAsia, its Thai and Indonesian subsidiaries, as well as Cebu Pacific Airways operate from the existing LCCT. Over the next few months, AirAsia X will begin flying long haul from the same terminal. More low-cost carriers are expected to use the new terminal, it was reported.
Besides managing the KLIA and the current LCCT, MAHB manages 37 other airports in the country.
