SEPANG, Dec 1 -- With the Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Centre (KL ATCC) now operating at a new state-of-the art complex in Sepang, it will raise the efficiency of the country's air traffic services to be on par with developed countries, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob.
He said that the KL ATCC not only provided air traffic service operations for the entire Peninsular Malaysia airspace but also housed the Search and Rescue Centre and the Joint Airspace Management Coordination Centre (JAMCC).
"This state-of-the -art integrated control centre is certainly able to enhance the country's capacity and preparedness to face the challenging aviation situation and be able to support a brighter future for the next generation," he said when opening the KL ATCC here today.
On Sept 1, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong said the relocation of KL ATCC's operations to Sepang from Subang saw the restructuring of the country's airspace from seven to 14 sectors.
The KL ATCC, which is housed in a building inspired by the ‘wau’ (Malaysian kite) design, houses the Kuala Lumpur Air Flight Information (KL FIR) air traffic operations centre, which is the backbone to the country’s air traffic control functions, and the Aeronautical Search and Rescue (SAR) Coordination Centre.
