Ipoh Airport Terminal's New Face

The expansion of Sultan Azlan Shah Airport has been completed recently. Its terminal building had gone through a thorough renovation which change the entire appearance. Modern architecture with spacious & naturally bright interior is making it totally different from previous terminal. When the terminal facilities are being upgraded, the runway is also extended to 2,000m which allows larger aircraft to land in this airport. Hopefully there will be more flight routes being established to connect Ipoh with other major cities and bring in more visitors & investors.
