Kuala Lumpur International Airport will soon get a new ADS-B-equipped air traffic control center that will house ATC operations for the Kualu Lumpur Flight Information region (KLFIR). Slated for completion in the third quarter of 2019 and to start operations three months later, the new Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Center (KLATCC) will become the backbone of the country’s air traffic control and coordination center for the Department of Civil Aviation’s search-and-rescue system and serve as the starting point to restructure the KLFIR airspace. With the new system, the airport will become the only facility in Southeast Asia to operate three runways simultaneously, increasing the frequency of landings per hour from the current 78 to 108. In Asia as a whole, only Beijing Capital International Airport and Shanghai Pudong International Airport support similar capabilities.
