Airside Tour at Kuala Lumpur International Airport with Malaysia Airports!

Join me on an airside tour at Malaysia's largest international airport, KLIA!
"Wake The Planespotters Up When September Ends" is an aviation photography airside tour organised by Malaysia Airports, first taking place back in 2020, with aviation enthusiasts across Malaysia participating in airside tours at KLIA, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.
Selected members of the airport's media community 'MY Elites' and representatives of local media were invited to attend this year's edition, while I brought some friends along from flying school. We braved less-than-ideal weather conditions as we explored the airside area from ground level, stopping at various points of interest along the way.
I did my best to showcase the experience, covering the departures at Runway 32R, operations in progress at the cargo and maintenance aprons, low-flying aircraft at the approach lights to Runway 32L, and plenty of unique airside perspectives that you wouldn't normally get to see. We finished up with a visit to the Airport Fire Rescue Service Station for a close-up look and demonstration of the equipment that keeps our airports safe!

Incredible footage bro. Didn’t even know Raya shifted to KUL from SZB. Glad to see operations in KLIA are busy as always and especially the mx facilities. Didn’t think those 772s would still be there!

[@AviTheAviator]

Thank you mate. KUL has recovered fairly well with a good variety of unique traffic these days, come visit soon! I'm sure those 772s will be around for a while longer haha

At 4'32" where this BIG aircraft from Batik Air going to fly?

[@AviTheAviator]

The aircraft was parked during the handover process from Lion Air to Batik Air Malaysia.

[@shaqisumari304]

Only in HIA you could see up close because they use bus and stairs to the aircraft instead of airbridge

[@AviTheAviator]

All too common occurrence in Doha. Good fun apart from the extreme heat!

[@Planeguy7839]

[@AviTheAviator]

The 777 fleet is sorely missed, but we must let them have their rest after years of dutiful service.
