Executive director Tan Sri Ravindran Menon said the city airport operator was confident of achieving its target with the completion of works at SST by October this year.
"The RM40 million terminal is 90 per cent completed and destined to become Malaysia's premier airport in the city," he said at a media sneak preview of the SST in Petaling Jaya, Selangor yesterday. When fully operational, the SST is able to accommodate an average of 60 flights daily, comprising of local and regional arrivals and departures, he said.
Presently, Berjaya Air and Firefly are using the terminal for international and domestic flights.
The 150,000-square foot SST is expected to handle 2.5 million passengers by end of this year, Ravindran said.
Currently, passenger numbers are peaking at 60,000 a month, he said.
The company is involved in the RM300 million redevelopment plan for the Subang airport, consisting of RM40 million for phase one, RM110 million for phase two and RM150 million for phase three.
Ravindran said the three phases included a city airport for turbo-prop aircraft, fixed base operations for business jets, and maintenance, repair and overhaul facilities.
The three phases are scheduled for full completion by end-2011, he said.
