RWY Closure at KLIA

Hi all..from what I have gathered the 2nd rwy which is 32L/14R will be closed in the region of three to four months for strengthening purposes. This is in view of the arrival of the A380 into KLIA. After this, 32R/14L will also be closed but the duration may not be like the 2nd RWY.
ATC anticipates congestion not only at KLIA but also in the arrivals.There is definitely enroute holdings since only ONE Rwy is going to be used.
Meetings are on going and decisions will be made known.
These are going to be trying moments and we need to sit down and talk about coming up with a win-win situation for all. Can we have another teh-tarik session to see what we all can do to improve this forthcoming situation. Maybe an awareness programme can be birthed out of this sessions.
May I have some inputs. It's going to be tough on all, especially the airlines as they have all prepared and sent out their summer schedules.Guys, u arrange the date as we ATCers can adapt to it more easily.
