Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) will be meeting AirAsia soon to discuss and resolve the issues, such as the heavy construction that has caused disruption to the budget airline’s headquarters at the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT).

“This is a tenancy agreement between AirAsia and MAHB that needs to be settled immediately. AirAsia has a new headquarters in Kuala Lumpur International Terminal2 (KLIA2) but it is not ready yet.

“The tenancy agreement has ended and this is being negotiated with AirAsia,” Liow told a press conference yesterday after launching the Chinese version of the Malaysia Book of Records (MBR).

AirAsia chief executive officer Aireen Omar said last month that it was supposed to move to its new headquarters a while ago but the building of the new office was delayed because the airport was built much larger than originally intended and the DCA airport tower had to be moved.

Staff members have to park 500 metres away from the terminal and walk to work while construction work at the terminal goes on right next to the airline office.

She added that AirAsia would hopefully be able to move to KLIA2 in October.

Earlier at the event, MBR founder Tan Sri Danny Ooi said the purpose of the Chinese version was to instil the spirit of excellence in everyone and he hoped the names in the records would forever be archived for the younger generation as an inspiration.
