Terminal 3 has been projected to become the biggest transit airport in Southeast Asia. "The presence of Malaysia Airlines in Terminal 3 can increase competitiveness and airline branding in the aviation industry," said Suriawan.
Among the digital-based facilities featured in Terminal 3 are e-parking, a crowd management system, free Wi-Fi, self check-in (currently in progress), digital banners, body scanners, automated immigration, a trolley management system and restrooms equipped with e-surveys.
Since early last year, state-owned airport operator PT Angkasa Pura II has gradually moved international airlines that are members of Skyteam, an airline alliance comprising 20 carriers worldwide, from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3.
Those that have already operated from Terminal 3 are Garuda Indonesia, Saudi Arabian Airlines, Vietnam Airlines, Korean Airlines, Xiamen Air, China Airlines, China Southern, AirAsia and Korean Air. (kes)
