TheMalaysianInsider : KLIA2 Retak?

Keretakan di beberapa kawasan klia2 mungkin sebabkan pembukaan ditangguh lagi

        Kebimbangan mengenai keselamatan lapangan terbang tambang murah klia2 dibangkitkan lagi selepas penemuan keretakan di jalan rayap, kawasan apron dan sekurang-kurangnya satu tempat parkir pesawat, seminggu selepas bangunan terminal gagal pemeriksaan bagi piawaian kebakaran dan keselamatan.

        The Malaysian Insider menerima satu set gambar yang diambil baru-baru ini menunjukkan keretakan dan permukaan beralun di jalan rayap membawa ke landasan sepanjang 3.96 km, selain keretakan di kawasan apron dan tempat parkir pesawat yang boleh menyebabkan pembukaan lapangan tambang murah itu yang dijadualkan pada 2 Mei ditangguhkan lagi.


        "Jalan rayap ini penting kerana lebih 300 pesawat berlepas dan mendarat di lapangan terbang tambang murah pada ketika ini dengan pesawat yang penuh. Sebarang keretakan akan menyebabkan kebimbangan keselamatan kepada syarikat penerbangan untuk mendarat di sini," kata satu sumber kepada The Malaysian Insider.


        Di antara syarikat penerbangan bakal menggunakan terminal ini adalah AirAsia, AirAsia X, Cebu Pacific dan Malindo Air yang kebanyakannya akan menggunakan pesawat kecil seperti Boeing 737 dan Airbus 320. Bagaimanapun, AirAsia X menggunakan pesawat besar A330 dan A340 yang boleh membawa beban lebih berat.


        "Pihak berkuasa sudah diberitahu mengenai keretakan dan kerja baik pulih akan mengambil masa, lebih lama daripada tarikh pembukaan pada 2 Mei ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Pengangkutan," tambah sumber tersebut.


        Pengendali lapangan terbang Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) mengadakan ujian landasan Oktober lepas menggunakan pesawat Boeing 737-900ER Malindo Air di Landasan 3 dan menganggapnya sebagai satu kejayaan kerana pesawat tidak melantun semasa mendarat.


        KUB Builders, anak syarikat KUB Malaysia adalah kontraktor landasan lapangan terbang bernilai RM268.8 juta yang menghubungkan jalan rayap ke terminal lapangan terbang.


        Sumber mengatakan syarikat pesawat tambang murah akan berwaspada menggunakan klia2 sehingga kerja-kerja pembaikan selesai dengan salah seorang mengatakan.


        "Ini boleh menjejaskan rekod keselamatan 100% mereka, jadi syarikat seperti AirAsia dan Malindo Air mahukan jaminan penuh kerana sebarang kemalangan akan menjejaskan perniagaan mereka."


        

"Sesetengah syarikat tambang murah masih belum membuat keputusan sama ada mahu berpindah operasi ke lapangan tambang murah itu pada 2 Mei sehingga pihak berkuasa menyelesaikan isu keselamatan," kata sumber lain.


        Awal bulan ini MAHB mengesahkan pembukaan klia2 mungkin ditangguhkan kerana dua pertiga daripada bangunan terminal utama lapangan terbangan itu tidak memenuhi piawaian keselamatan kebakaran selepas pemeriksaan dijalankan bulan lepas.


        Menurut satu kenyataan dari MAHB, Indah Water Konsortium Sdn Bhd, Majlis Perbandaran Sepang dan Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat membuat pemeriksaan terhadap bangunan itu pada minggu terakhir Januari lalu dan mendapati 65% daripada terminal utama tidak memenuhi piawaian keselamatan kebakaran.


        Terdapat keretakan dalam paip pembetungan di luar terminal, dan bahagian-bahagian jalan dan perparitan tidak sesuai untuk digunakan. Perakuan pihak berkuasa itu penting bagi pengeluaran Sijil Penyiapan dan Pematuhan (CCC) untuk lapangan terbang yang menelan belanja RM4 bilion itu.


        Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd, dalam kenyataan tersebut turut berkata mereka gagal untuk menerima CCC bagi bangunan terminal klia2 daripada UEMC-Bina Puri.


        Kontraktor utama UEMC-Bina Puri Joint Venture sebelum ini sudah memberi jaminan ia akan menyerahkan bangunan terminal atau menyerahkan CCC kepada pengendali lapangan terbang itu pada 31 Januari.


        Dalam satu kenyataan berasingan, UEM-Bina Puri mengesahkan ia tidak boleh mendapatkan CCC pada 31 Januari dan mendakwa ini disebabkan oleh "isu yang tidak dijangka" berlaku baru-baru ini semasa pemeriksaan susulan.


        Akhbar The Star melaporkan awal bulan ini kerja-kerja pembaikan akan mengambil kira-kira tiga hingga empat minggu untuk melengkapkannya dan walaupun kontraktor dijadualkan akan melalui satu lagi ujian yang dijalankan oleh Jabatan Bomba dan Penyelamat dalam masa dua minggu lagi, namun sebarang kelewatan dalam mendapatkan pengesahan kelayakan untuk bangunan beroperasi akan memberi kesan kepada pembukaan lapangan terbang.


        "Begitu banyak janji dan jaminan yang diberikan oleh kontraktor, namun gagal untuk mendapatkan CCC. Kini terdapat kebimbangan adakah mereka boleh mendapatkan CCC pada akhir Februari," kata sumber dalam industri kepada The Star.


        Kelewatan pembukaan klia2 selama hampir setahun menyebabkan perang mulut diantara pengasas AirAsia Tan Sri Tony Fernandes dan Pemangku Menteri Pengangkutan Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein.


        Hishammuddin berkata pada hujung minggu pihak berkepentingan usah menunding jari atau menyalahkan mana-mana pihak, sebaliknya mengutamakan kepentingan nasional dan rakyat terlebih dahulu untuk mematuhi tarikh operasi yang ditetapkan iaitu pada 2 Mei ini.


        "Tarikh yang dijanjikan itu ditetapkan oleh mereka sendiri bukan dari kerajaan kerana ia merupakan 'private commercial venture'. Jadi mereka kena bertanggungjawab kalau mereka tidak sehaluan sekalipun.


        "Saya sebagai menteri bertanggungjawab mahu tarikh yang ditangguhkan dahulu, dan sudah dijanjikan akan beroperasi pada 2 Mei itu dapat ditunaikan,” katanya ketika ditemui pemberita di Kajang pada Ahad.


        Sehari sebelum itu Fernandes menggunakan akaun Twitternya untuk menyerang MAHB dan Hishammuddin kerana peningkatan kos dan cukai klia2.


        Fernandes berkata di Twitternya: "Kita harus jelas. Lapangan Terbang Malaysia adalah monopoli. Kebimbangan saya adalah mereka perlu pastikan kos dikurangkan untuk orang awam Malaysia.
        "Kita cipta penerbangan tambang murah. Kita tidak minta lapangan terbang 4 bilion (ringgit) yang lewat selama 3 tahun. LCCT sekarang hanya berkos RM250 juta.
        Sebagai respon kepada Fernandes, Hishammuddin mempertahankan kelewatan klia2 selama lebih dua tahun:


        "KLIA2: Peningkatan kos&Kelewatan-Orang ramai akan tahu kenapa/siapa selepas dibuka 2 Mei = Fokus kerajaan @jayadylan @tonyfernandes."
        klia2 sudah beberapa kali ditangguhkan pembukaannya dengan terakhir seharusnya dibuka pada 30 April sebelum ditunda lagi ke 2 Mei. – 26 Februari, 2014.

Kat parking apron tu kalau minor crack lepas concreting tu biasanya sbb buat concreting waktu siang (panas terik). Sbb concrete yg dipakai utk parking apron tu sangat sensitif (grade 45), waktu mixing pun mix dgn ice, pastu waktu lay tu takleh waktu siang, mesti waktu malam supaya sejuk sikit.

making The Rakyat’s Terminal a reality.

Dear Valued Guest,

We at AirAsia and AirAsia X appreciate your patronage in choosing us
for your travel. As a regular user of the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal
(LCCT) in Sepang, we have heard your concerns and complaints about the
cramped facilities at the LCCT. Many of you may not be aware that the
terminal is owned, operated and managed NOT by AirAsia but by Malaysia
Airport Holdings Bhd., a government-linked company.

To help serve you even better, AirAsia – together with Sime Darby Bhd.
- proposed to the government that we be allowed to construct and
operate a new terminal to cater to the airline’s exponential growth.
The Cabinet approved our request for the new terminal – KLIA-East, or
as we like to call it, The Rakyat’s Terminal – to be located just a
short distance from the KLIA Main Terminal. The new terminal in Labu,
Negeri Sembilan, is scheduled to be in operation early 2011.

In recent days, the proposed KLIA-East terminal has generated a lot of
debates and discussions in the media – print, broadcast and online. We
appreciate the fact that almost everyone who has voiced their view
agrees that AirAsia needs a new terminal. For us, the staff of the
airline, the new terminal is very much a matter of the company’s
survival given the number of new aircraft joining our ranks – at least
two are being delivered every month – and the growth in passengers,
estimated to reach 60 million in 2013.

We would like to appeal for your support in helping us deliver on our promises to you and in making The Rakyat’s Terminal
a reality. We have set up a designated web site where we will try and
clear misconceptions regarding the project and provide answers to
questions you may have regarding KLIA-East.
Do drop by and have a look. We would also like to appeal to you to
voice out your support for the project – and for lower fares,
convenience and a comfortable environment – by writing to the print
media, appearing on broadcast media, responding in the online media,
especially blogs, and contacting your elected representatives.

Why AirAsia wants its own airport

AirAsia Bhd is undeniably the champion of low-fare travel not only in Malaysia but also the region. The emergence of AirAsia has benefited not only consumers via its low air fares, but also the country in terms of tourism.
If not for low-cost carriers (LCCs) such as AirAsia, full-fledged carriers would not be compelled to reduce fares. Now, even Malaysian Airline System Bhd (MAS) offers low fares.

Competition has resulted in marginal price differences for certain competing routes between the two airlines although the services offered are vastly different. But at the end of the day, fares are cheaper as a whole and more people get to fly.
That is the reality of the modern-day airline business. The landscape has changed so much that airlines now want to have their own airports in a bid to further lower costs.

This is what AirAsia's group CEO Datuk Seri Tony Fernandes has in mind. Having won many battles — which include domestic rationalisation, lower airport charges and gaining entry into the closed KL-Singapore route — he now wants to operate an airport.
The reason is easy to fathom — so that AirAsia can control and reduce its airport costs. Any cost savings can be passed on to the customer to further cut fares. This effectively gives AirAsia an advantage, which would help it ward off its competitors. Also, an airport with a separate runway and control towers will improve the turnaround time which, in turn, means more revenue for AirAsia.
Can anyone blame the airline for wanting all these?

But having said that, AirAsia is already enjoying incentives offered by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB). For instance, to facilitate the airline's move to KLIA from Subang Airport in 2002, all its aeronautical charges, except the passenger service charge (PSC), were waived.
Even so, the PSC for international flights — which is borne by the passenger — at the low-cost carrier terminal (LCCT) is RM25, way below the RM45 charged at the main terminal of KLIA and other international airports, regardless of the size and facilities available.

The waiver given to AirAsia was for 2002 to 2007 and was not only applicable to the LCCT in Sepang, but also all other airports in Malaysia where AirAsia operated. The waiver covered all domestic and international flights, including landing, parking, aerobridge and check-in counter charges. The budget carrier also enjoyed special rent rates for office space at all airports.

But all these incentives ended in 2007. Any increase in cost will eat into AirAsia's margins, especially when the airline has had to contend with record high fuel prices last year.

AirAsia thus wants to operate its own airport to keep its costs low, which was the argument Fernandes offered a group of journalists at the company's headquarters in Sepang recently.

The main point of contention was projecting the cost and the time required to complete a new LCCT. Fernandes says AirAsia will be able to build a permanent LCCT to cater for its needs at half the cost of MAHB's proposed permanent LCCT.

AirAsia's proposed LCCT, to be built together with Sime Darby Bhd, is estimated to cost RM1.6 billion, excluding the cost of land. MAHB has not revealed the proposed cost of its permanent LCCT at KLIA. However, previous estimates put it at RM3.8 billion. Fernandes says there are many interested investors, including infrastructure funds, willing to fund the project. He expects the funding and equity structure to be finalised by April.
Considering the expenditure of some RM100 million that AirAsia supposedly incurs in aero*nautical charges currently, the proposition should find some suitors, especially funds sitting on excess cash and willing to accept returns of 8% to 10%.

However, analysts remain sceptical. They are not convinced private investors will be keen on the airport project due to the huge risks involved, especially in a slowing economy and tight credit market. At least, not until a funding structure has been worked out and finalised.
On the other hand, MAHB — under pressure from the KLIA East proposal — could be forced to pare down the final cost of its proposed permanent LCCT site at KLIA, Aseambankers says in a recent note.

Another analyst concurs. "If AirAsia can build an airport with the capacity to handle 30 million passengers annually by 2011, I believe MAHB can too and will be more financially prepared to do so.
"To be noted is that major shareholders of AirAsia could not secure funding to privatise AirAsia last year, which costs much less than RM1.6 billion. This raises the question of whether they are able to secure funding for an airport," says the analyst.
Also, the airport business, like other infrastructure, is long term in nature and has a long gestation period. "It will take more than eight years before real returns are realised. There are better alternatives to running an airport," the analyst says.
According to HwangDBS, it does not make sense for AirAsia and Sime Darby Bhd to build a new LCCT in Labu, given that it requires the companies to build a whole new facility.

"It makes more economical sense to ride existing facilities (such as the runway and the oil tank farm) at KLIA. Sime Darby and AirAsia's plan to build their own LCCT may take longer than expected — more than two years. We believe the main hurdle for AirAsia is obtaining more funding for the construction of the new airport (on top of its funding needs for its fleet expansion)," the research house adds.
HwangDBS believes that MAHB will continue to build as planned in an effort to cater for AirAsia's fast-growing number of passengers.
Apart from cost, AirAsia points out that the present LCCT in Sepang will not be able to cope with AirAsia's traffic growth. By 2013, AirAsia and its long-haul budget carrier AirAsia X will handle a total of 60 million passengers annually and have a total of 184 aircraft.
Fernandes says there will be insufficient runway capacity at KLIA to cope with the number of peak-hour aircraft movements that will result from operating the large fleet.

"The key thing is we cannot slow down our growth because we have bought aircraft and we need a bigger terminal. We are building for 30 million passengers and we should be supported," he says
Fernandes also laments the lack of connectivity, rail connection and bus services. In short, KLIA East is, in AirAsia's view, the best option as it meets all the criteria — cost efficiency, good connectivity, efficient layout and readily available land.
Suffice it to say that the race to operate a new LCCT is on. Incumbent MAHB and Air*Asia have every reason to want their proposals accepted by the government.

When news that AirAsia wanted to build an airport broke, many viewed it with scepticism. But after Sime Darby got the Cabinet's approval, it was no longer a laughing matter. The next few months are crucial for AirAsia and Fernandes. If they can secure the financing, there would probably be no stopping KLIA East, unless the powers that be decide otherwise.
