Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), located 45 kilometers south of Malaysia’s capital, is the nation’s premier aviation hub and a cornerstone of Southeast Asia’s air travel network. Handling over 60 million passengers annually, this sprawling two-terminal complex connects travelers to more than 120 destinations worldwide, serving as the home base for Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia.

Kuala Lumpur International Airport has consistently ranked among Skytrax’s “Top 100 Airports,” embodying Malaysia’s vision of progress and hospitality.

Opened in 1998 to replace the aging Subang Airport, Kuala Lumpur International Airport was designed to reflect Malaysia’s natural beauty and technological ambition. Its iconic Main Terminal, inspired by Islamic architecture and surrounded by lush rainforest, spans 242,000 square meters and is supported by two runways. The airport’s Satellite Terminal, connected by the Aerotrain, and the dedicated KLIA2 for low-cost carriers, ensure versatility in operations.

The airport also is served by public transport, airport transfer limousines & private-hire vehicles, and several car rental agencies.
