KLIA remains Asia-Pacific’s most connected megahub, fourth globally, according to OAG index

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) remains the fourth most connected international airport globally and the top megahub in the Asia-Pacific region, according to the OAG index.

KLIA's network and capacity have expanded, welcoming new airlines and routes, with improvements in passenger experience and service excellence.

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd aims to further strengthen KLIA by enhancing facilities and connectivity, including new check-in systems, e-hailing options, and family-friendly amenities.

PUTRAJAYA, Sept 23 — Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has retained its position as the world’s fourth most connected international airport while remaining the most connected megahub in Asia-Pacific.

According to OAG’s 2026 Megahubs Index, KLIA’s capacity grew by 6.9 per cent, supported by the expansion of its airline network.

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) managing director Datuk Mohd Izani Ghani said KLIA’s standing among the world’s most connected megahubs reflected the strength and breadth of its aviation network, supported by airline partners, airport teams and industry stakeholders. However, he said KLIA’s growth was not simply about adding more destinations, with greater connectivity needing to be matched by sufficient capacity and a seamless passenger experience.

“But growth is meaningful only when it is matched by the right experience and the right capacity to support it. That is why our focus at KLIA goes beyond connectivity. We are working across the entire passenger journey to make KLIA more convenient, efficient and welcoming,” he said in a statement today.

To date, KLIA has welcomed seven new scheduled airlines and nine new routes, providing additional connections to destinations including Riyadh, Algeria and Jinan. Malaysia Airlines has also strengthened connectivity with Japan through its new direct Fukuoka-Kuala Lumpur service.

MAHB said the expansion is set to continue with Gulf Air, Hainan Airlines, ZIPAIR and Thai Vietjet scheduled to commence services later this year, while Lufthansa is set to return in October with five weekly flights between Frankfurt and Kuala Lumpur.

Mohd Izani said MAHB aims to further strengthen KLIA’s position as Asia-Pacific’s most connected megahub while ensuring service excellence keeps pace with its expanding network. Among recent improvements are upgraded check-in and self-service bag-drop facilities, enhanced kerbside traffic management through the Vehicle Access Management System (VAMS) and a new e-hailing system at Terminal 1.

MAHB has also introduced additional passenger trolleys, complimentary wheelchairs and baby strollers as well as family-friendly facilities, while the “Calm Room” and “Harimau Playground” have been introduced at Terminal 2. The airport operator said the combination of a stronger network, enhanced passenger experience and continued capacity investment would position KLIA to connect Malaysia with more destinations and travellers worldwide. — Bernama

根据 OAG 指数，吉隆坡国际机场 (KLIA) 仍然是全球连接性第四强的国际机场，也是亚太地区最大的航空枢纽。

吉隆坡国际机场的航线网络和运力不断扩大，迎来了新的航空公司和航线，乘客体验和服务质量也得到了提升。

马来西亚机场控股有限公司旨在通过提升设施和连接性来进一步加强吉隆坡国际机场，包括新的值机系统、网约车选项和适合家庭的设施。

布城，9月23日讯——吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）保持了其作为全球第四大最互联国际机场的地位，同时也是亚太地区互联程度最高的超级枢纽机场。

根据 OAG 发布的 2026 年超级枢纽指数，吉隆坡国际机场的运力增长了 6.9%，这得益于其航空公司网络的扩张。

马来西亚机场控股有限公司（MAHB）董事总经理拿督莫哈末伊扎尼·加尼表示，吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）跻身全球互联互通程度最高的航空枢纽之列，体现了其航空网络的强大实力和广泛覆盖，这离不开航空公司合作伙伴、机场团队和行业利益相关者的支持。但他指出，吉隆坡国际机场的发展并非仅仅在于增加目的地数量，更强大的互联互通能力还需与充足的运力以及流畅的旅客体验相匹配。

“但只有当增长与合适的体验和支持能力相匹配时，它才有意义。因此，吉隆坡国际机场的关注点不仅仅在于连接性。我们正致力于提升旅客的整个旅程体验，使吉隆坡国际机场更加便捷、高效和舒适，”他今天在一份声明中表示。

迄今为止，吉隆坡国际机场已迎来七家新的定期航空公司和九条新航线，为旅客提供了前往利雅得、阿尔及利亚和济南等目的地的更多连接。马来西亚航空公司也通过新开通的福冈至吉隆坡直航航线，加强了与日本的联系。

MAHB表示，随着海湾航空、海南航空、ZIPAIR和泰国越捷航空计划于今年晚些时候开始提供服务，扩张计划将继续推进，而汉莎航空将于10月回归，每周开通五班法兰克福至吉隆坡的航班。

莫哈末伊扎尼表示，马来西亚机场控股公司（MAHB）的目标是进一步巩固吉隆坡国际机场作为亚太地区互联互通最广泛的超级枢纽的地位，同时确保卓越的服务水平与其不断扩展的网络保持同步。近期改进措施包括升级值机和自助行李托运设施，通过车辆通行管理系统（VAMS）加强路边交通管理，以及在1号航站楼推出全新的网约车系统。

马来西亚机场控股公司（MAHB）还增设了旅客推车、免费轮椅和婴儿车，以及家庭友好设施，并在2号航站楼推出了“静谧室”和“虎猫游乐场”。机场运营商表示，更强大的航线网络、更优质的旅客体验以及持续的运力投资，将使吉隆坡国际机场（KLIA）能够更好地连接马来西亚与全球更多目的地和旅客。——马新社
