LOW COST CARRIER TERMINAL KOTA KINABALU

I did not realized that the Kota kinabalu Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) is already more than 3 years old until I went to pick-up a friend last week.While waiting for the flight to land, I met an old friend who is working for the Malaysia Airport Behad. According to him, this terminal started operation since early January 2007 and could handle 1,200 passengers per peak hour with the support of 26 check-in counters, a departure and arrival hall and six aircraft parking bays. Currently AirAsia is operating their Domestic and International flights from this terminal. The other carrier is Cebu Pacific on thie MNL-BKI-MNL route. A taxi driver told me that the departure and arrival driveway is normally jammed with heavy traffic during peak hours.
.
This terminal is a two storey building. Passengers movement is mainly on the ground floor where the check-in counter, arrival and departure halls, flight information, car rental and shops are located.

There are two restaurants on the second floor - a cafe and KFC on each side of the floor. For those who want to check their e-mail or to surf the internet on their laptops, there is a Wi-Fi at KFC.
