Penang International Airport (PIA), the gateway into the north of the peninsula, is poised to become the second biggest airport in the country, with a RM1.5bil expansion project to be completed in 2028. Currently, 16 commercial aircraft can park at the terminal.
With the expansion, PIA will be able to take 28 planes at any one time with an additional six parking bays and six remote parking bays.
The PIA expansion would include the construction of a new multi-storey car park with an additional 1,700 parking bays, increasing the capacity to 3,400 lots. PIA now has a RM70mil seven-storey car park which opened last April.
