Pemindahan operasi struktur ruang udara baharu ini telah menjadi sebahagian daripada usaha berterusan Pihak Berkuasa Penerbangan Awam Malaysia (CAAM) untuk menyeragam dan mematuhi piawaian Pertubuhan Penerbangan Awam Antarabangsa (ICAO) dalam reka bentuk Maklumat Penerbangan Ruang Udara Kuala Lumpur (KL FIR). Dengan pembinaan KL FIR yang baharu ini, ia akan membolehkan lebih banyak pesawat mendarat pada waktu puncak atau slot premium dan seterusnya meningkatkan kapasiti pendaratan di Lapangan Terbang Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur (KLIA) dari 78 kepada 108 pesawat sejam dan jumlah ini adalah antara yang tertinggi di dunia. Selain itu, reka bentuk ruang udara yang baharu ini juga membolehkan lebih banyak pergerakan pesawat setiap jam dengan memanfaatkan sepenuhnya tiga (3) landasan yang terdapat di KLIA secara serentak.

Struktur ruang udara yang serba baharu akan menyediakan pengurusan lalu lintas di ruang udara yang lebih efisien dan lancar, meningkatkan kecekapan Sistem Pengawasan serta Sistem Komunikasi dan Navigasi KL FIR untuk membolehkan pelaksanaan Navigasi Berasaskan Prestasi (PBN). Selain itu, ia juga akan meningkatkan daya saing Malaysia dalam industri penerbangan dengan meningkatkan ketersediaan dan hubungan industri penerbangan awam negara.

Dengan rekaan berbentuk layang-layang tradisional tempatan atau wau bersama sentuhan moden, KLATCC baharu ini adalah tonggak penting bagi industri penerbangan awam negara dan akan menjadi kebanggaan Malaysia. Majlis pelancaran rasmi akan diadakan pada waktu yang sesuai dalam masa terdekat.

SUCCESSFUL OPERATIONAL MIGRATION OF MALAYSIA’S NEW AIRSPACE STRUCTURE TO NEW KUALA LUMPUR AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL CENTRE IN SEPANG

The Ministry of Transport is pleased to announce the operational migration of Malaysia’s new airspace structure to the new Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre (KLATCC) in Sepang, Selangor from the previous KLATCC in Subang, Selangor.

The migration that took place at 2:00am on 1 September 2021 marked a historical moment for the country’s aviation industry which saw the restructuring of the country’s airspace from 7 sectors of the old airspace to the new 14 sectors airspace. The new airspace structure is equipped with new airways, new departures, and arrival standards alongside a new backend system. These improvements are aimed at providing cascading lucrative returns to the country via the expansion of the aviation industry.

The operational migration of the new airspace structure has been part of the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia's (CAAM) ongoing efforts to standardise and incorporate the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standards in the airspace design of the Kuala Lumpur Flight Information Region (KL FIR). By implementing the new KL FIR airspace, it would allow more aircraft to land during peak hours or premium slots, increasing the landing capacity at KLIA from 78 to 108 aircraft per hour, which is among the highest in the world. Furthermore, the redesign of the airspace will subsequently allow more aircraft movements per hour by fully utilising the three runways available at KLIA simultaneously.

The all-new airspace structure will provide a more efficient and seamless air traffic management, enhancement of KL FIR Surveillance Systems, and improvement of KL FIR Communications and Navigation Systems to enable Performance Based Navigation (PBN) implementation. In addition to that, it will also enhance Malaysia's competitiveness in the aviation industry by raising the availability and connectivity of the country’s civil aviation industry.

With a design inspired by the local traditional kite or wau and infused with a modern twist, the new KLATCC is an important milestone for the country's civil aviation industry and will be the pride of Malaysia. A formal and safe launch ceremony will be organised at a suitable time in the very near future.
