# Transport Minister: KLIA & klia2 To Be Renamed As KLIA Terminal 1 & Terminal 2 For Branding Purposes

##### Transport minister Anthony Loke announced that the Cabinet has given its blessing to rename the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and klia2.

KLIA will be renamed as KLIA Terminal 1, while klia2 will be known as KLIA Terminal 2.

## Part of a larger branding effort for KLIA & klia2

According to Loke, the renaming is part of branding efforts to improve the airport's image and enhance the passenger experience.

However, he noted that the name change will not take effect immediately as it's part of a new Operating Agreement between the government and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB).

He said that MAHB will notify Bursa Malaysia, International Air Transport Association and the International Civil Aviation Organization about the change in name.
