The need for the Low Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) was triggered by the high growth of passenger movements recorded by Malaysia’s no frills airline, Air Asia. The LCC Terminal is located about 20 KM from the KLIA Main Terminal Building (MTB). Construction of the LCC Terminal was on the fast track basis beginning June 2005. The construction and other related costs of LCC Terminal is about RM 108 million. 
The LCC terminal is specifically designed to suit the Low Cost Carrier (LCC) business model where it would have no travellators, escalators, aerobridges and would be able to have a shorter turnaround time. The 35,290 square meters LCC terminal comprised one single storey building for departure and arrival. It is designed to handle 10 million passengers a year and there is scope for further expansion should more airlines decide to use it.
The LCC terminal is supported by the existing parking apron and additional infrastructure built includes an extension to the existing parking apron, surface access, curbside road, car parks, and other utilities. The LCC Terminal due to be completed in March 2006 and it will be opened on 9 March 2006 and the official opening will be on 23 March 2006.
