During this period, MAHB will be using a fleet of 16 buses to shuttle passengers between the Main Terminal Building (MTB) to the Satellite Building.
As such, to avoid inconvenience to passengers, with immediate effect, at Point of Reservations and Ticketing, the travel agent staff need to inform the passengers who are travelling on MH flights from 01 Nov 2010 onwards that they must be early at the Airport for check-in in order not to miss their flights.
