Subang SkyPark Sdn Bhd, operator of the Skypark Terminal (formerly Terminal 3) of the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, has been tipped to win the concession to redevelop Terminal 2.
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is expected to award the concession to redevelop Terminal 2 early next month.
It is understood that Firefly and Malaysia Airlines have also expressed interest in the redevelopment of the terminal, but no proposal has been submitted to the airport operator to date, apart from Subang SkyPark.
According to sources, MAHB is expected to grant Subang Skypark the concession as it is already managing the Skypark Terminal.
"We are the logical partner for this project, given that we have already successfully completed the transformation of the former Terminal 3," said Subang Skypark, but declined to reveal the developments proposed by the company.
"Primarily, Terminal 2 forms an extension towards meeting the needs of the airlines at the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport. As an adjunct, it will allow Subang SkyPark to expand the offerings to passengers, visitors as well as to the working and residential populace within the vicinity of the airport.
"Our initial estimates show that the overall redevelopment cost would be in the region of RM20-25 million," it added.
Subang Skypark had spent some RM40 million to refurbish the terminal back in 2008, which can handle up to 2.5 million passengers per year.
The terminal also boasts of a business aviation centre (BAC) which hosts a fixed base operation (FBO) — SkyPark FBO Malaysia, which is currently used by business jets and private jet charter giant VistaJet.
Subang SkyPark has a 59-year lease of the SkyPark Terminal, starting in 2007.
Firefly and Berjaya Air currently fly out of the terminal, operating the ATR 72-500s and DeHavilland Dash 7 turboprops.
