SUBANG SKYPARK AIMS FOR RM7 MILLION REVENUE

PETALING JAYA, Aug 17 (Bernama)-- Subang SkyPark Sdn Bhd is confident of

Subang Terminal (SST), formerly known as Terminal 3, by May next year.
Executive director Tan Sri Ravindran Menon said the city airport operator
was confident of achieving its target with the completion of works at SST by
October this year.
"The RM40 million terminal is 90 percent completed and destined to become
Malaysia's premier airport in the city," he told reporters at a media sneak
preview of the SST here today.
When fully operational, the SST is able to accommodate an average of 60
flights daily, comprising of local and regional arrivals and departures, he
said.
Presently, Berjaya Air and Firefly are using the terminal for international
and domestic flights.
The 150,000-square foot SST is expected to handle 2.5 million passengers by
end of this year, Ravindran said.
Currently, passenger numbers are peaking at 60,000 a month, he said.
The company is involved in the RM300 million redevelopment plan for the
Subang airport, consisting of RM40 million for phase one, RM110 million for
phase two and RM150 million for phase three.
Ravindran said the three phases included a city airport for turbo-prop
aircraft, fixed base operations for business jets, and maintenance, repair and
overhaul facilities.
The three phases are scheduled for full completion by end-2011, he said. --
