KLIA celebrates 10th anniversary

By CHARLES FERNANDEZ


ABOUT 1,000 people, comprising the KL International Airport (KLIA) community took part in a telematch held in conjunction with the airport’s 10th anniversary

Participants from Malaysia Airports and 22 government and private agencies pitted their brains and brawns in games such as gunny sack race, dice race and baggage race, among others.

The half-day event was launched by Malaysia Airports chairman Tan Sri Dr Aris Othman.

Aris said the telematch was also held to strengthen ties between all the agencies.

He said KLIA was one of the well-known airports in the world.

“We won the award as the World’s Best Airport three consecutive times. I have no doubt that KLIA will continue to evolve and maintain its position as among the best in the world,” added Aris.

A host of activities have been planned throughout the year which include the KLIA dinner and treasure hunt and an exhibition on the history of KLIA which is currently being held at Level three and five of the main terminal building.

The exhibition showcases the history and development of KLIA since it opened in 1998.
