Still no concrete outcome despite latest meeting on 18/5/06. Talk is that despite the availability of aprox 2500m, delays are still going to be anticipated somewhere in the region of about 15mins to get to the 2nd runway( this is due to the number of equipment that will be placed for the upgrading work). At the end of the day, looks like it doesn,t pay to go for the limited distance. However we still have to wait and see what the final arrangement is going to be. KLIA Ground has to devise a surface movement flow control system if delays are to be reduced. They must work with all the airlines to ensure up-to-date info is available by the minute so that pilots themselve can determine whether to push back or not.Those guys behind the mike in the Tower has to go all out to achieve this knowing the kind of problems contractors can pose. After all they are contractors and not air traffic managers. It's all in the hands of the ground ATCers. Any better ideas?
