THERE are no plans to move AirAsia's flights from the Low-Cost Carrier Terminal in Sepang to Subang airport, the Dewan Rakyat was told yesterday.

Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lajim Ukin said the government had spent RM124 million to upgrade the LCCT.

"This will cater to the airline's needs and improve passengers' comfort," he said in reply to questions from Fong Kui Lun (DAP-Bukit Bintang).

Among the facilities that are being upgraded are the check-in counters, outbound baggage system, international departure hall, parking area and expansion of the terminal building.

Once the upgrading works are completed by year-end, the LCCT could handle up to 15 million passengers a year compared with its present 10 million.

He said the competition between Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia benefited travellers.

"Passengers are enjoying the best deals," he said.

Lajim said MAS' "Everyday Low Fare" campaign was one of its strategies to increase its competitiveness.

The campaign is aimed at encouraging domestic and regional tourism, adding 500,000 new passengers and increasing online transactions from four per cent to 60 by 2010.
