The fee rises to 100 ringgit for staying 25 to 30 minutes. Malaysia Airports said the trial had led to a change in driver behaviour, noting the number of vehicles which exceeded the 10-minute kerbside limit fell from 50% to 21% over the three months. "With full enforcement starting 1 December at T1, we are ensuring that terminal access remains orderly and that everyone has a fair chance to use the drop-off and pick-up lanes efficiently," Malaysia Airports managing director, Dato’ Mohd Izani Ghani, said. "This consistency is especially important as we enter the year-end travel peak and gear up for Visit Malaysia Year 2026." KLIA also has other car parks where drivers are able to wait for free for longer than 10 minutes.
