SEPANG - Following the implementation of the Vehicle Access Management System (VAMS) at KL International Airport Terminal 2 (KLIA T2) on 31 March 2026, traffic flow at the kerbside has improved significantly, delivering a smoother and more efficient passenger drop-off and pick-up experience. Throughout April and May 2026, users recorded an average dwell time of slightly over three minutes, well within the complimentary 10-minute grace period. Over the 2-month period, 99% of users, representing 1,117,170 out of 1,127,986 vehicles at T2, complied with the grace period, reflecting strong public adaptation and improved kerbside discipline.

Managing Director of Malaysia Airports, Dato’ Mohd Izani Ghani said, “VAMS is part of our broader service commitment to continuously enhance the end-to-end airport experience for passengers and drivers at KLIA. Beyond improving traffic flow and kerbside efficiency, the system contributes to a smoother, more orderly, and service-driven airport environment from the first touchpoint of the passenger journey. The encouraging early results at T2, following the successful implementation at T1 on 1 December 2025, reinforce our long-term vision of building smarter, more responsive, and future-ready airport operations. Moving forward, we will continue refining the system and elevating the overall kerbside experience, while exploring the implementation of VAMS at other airports across our network.”

Since implementation at T1 and T2, VAMS has helped manage kerbside traffic efficiently, handling more than 7.3 million vehicles to date. VAMS is designed to optimise traffic flow at KLIA’s high-demand kerbside zones, with vehicles expected to complete pick-ups and drop-offs within 10 minutes. The system also includes safeguards to manage congestion and operational delays. Traffic marshals and response teams are stationed across the kerbside area to provide quick assistance, while manual barrier operations and backup power systems help ensure traffic continues moving smoothly when required.

Malaysia Airports will continue to refine and strengthen VAMS, in line with its commitment to delivering a smoother, more reliable, and passenger-centric airport experience.
