KLIA Aeropolis<br />
On The Horizon<br />
Malaysia Airports will be<br />
spearheading the development of<br />
an airport city – KLIA Aeropolis<br />
What is<br />
Aeropolis?<br />
Aeropolis is the concept of a<br />
city airport that can be a catalyst<br />
for urban economic developments<br />
and the centre of clusters for<br />
related technological,<br />
innovation and research<br />
activities.<br />
The coming years will see Malaysia Airports strive to become<br />
a “Global Leader in Creating Airport Cities” while growing its<br />
commercial and non-aeronautical revenue further to become a<br />
key economic generator for the nation.<br />
Aspiring to be the worldwide benchmark in spearheading the<br />
establishment of urban townships and communities around<br />
airports, KLIA Aeropolis will be one of the identified strategic<br />
priorities of Malaysia Airports’ business direction for the next<br />
five years. The aim is not just to develop KLIA Aeropolis as an<br />
aviation hub, but also a destination in its own right. So whether<br />
it is for business, tourism, leisure or shopping purposes, KLIA<br />
Aeropolis will be able to cater to everyone’s needs.<br />
KLIA Aeropolis will serve as an important link to global markets<br />
as it establishes a platform for international businesses and<br />
trades to take place that will in turn benefit Malaysia’s economic<br />
development. It is expected that KLIA Aeropolis will bring about<br />
RM7 billion in potential investments as well as creating plenty<br />
of job opportunities. According to Datuk Badlisham Ghazali,<br />
Managing Director of Malaysia Airports, Malaysia Airports is<br />
fortunate to have the 10 x 10km land bank surrounding KLIA<br />
allocated by the government as this will place the group in a<br />
prime position to facilitate the creation of KLIA Aeropolis.<br />
