The Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA 2), the new low cost carrier terminal, will handle 45 million passengers when it commences operations in April 2013, says Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd managing director Bashir Ahmad.

He said aerobridges would be built at the terminal to cater for all including the disabled, pregnant women and children.
