FS2004 Scenery--Kota Kinabalu Internation Airport

FS2004 Scenery--Kota Kinabalu Internation Airport. In mid 2005, the Malaysia government approved a project for major renovation and extension of KKIA worth RM1.4 billion. The project saw the 2988 m (9803 ft) runway extended to 3780 m (12402 ft) and the size of the main airport terminal building (Terminal 1) increased from 34,000 m2 (370,000 sq ft) to 87,000 m2 (940,000 sq ft). The new airport terminal building will be able to accommodate four Boeing 747s, one Airbus A330, seven Boeing 737s, three Fokker 50s and three Dorniers at any one time. It will also have 12 jetways for passenger use. The present air traffic control tower which is attached to the main terminal building will be demolished and will be replaced by a separate, stand alone tower. When the overall project is completed, the airport will be able to accommodate the Airbus A380, the world's largest passenger aircraft. The airport will also be the second largest airport in Malaysia with an annual capacity of 12 million passengers -- 9 million from Terminal 1 and 3 million from Terminal 2. By Chin Ja Hur.
