New COVD19 Screening Facilities Open at KLIA

International passengers arriving at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) can make use of eight new private COVD19 screening facilities.

The facilities promise COVID19 RTK, Rapid Molecular PCR and RT-PCR test results within 15 minutes, 1 hour and 3 hours respectively.

They are available at five locations within KLIA's main terminal and three at klia2.

Dato Seri Diraja Dr Zambry Abd Kadir, Chairman of Malaysia Airports, said, “We hope to further restore the confidence of passengers flying via our airports by enhancing the level of comfort and convenience throughout their journey. We have engaged the services of BP Clinical Lab, a top-class medical healthcare provider to run this private COVID19 screening facility which has been sanctioned by the Ministry of Health (MOH) and National Security Council ... With the recently implemented Langkawi domestic travel bubble by the government last week, we look forward to the lifting of international travel restrictions in the near future.”

The private COVID19 screening facilities will be able to handle about 40,000 passengers per day.

The cost per passenger ranges between RM90 to RM370 for Malaysians and RM120 to RM470 for foreigners. Payment can be processed by credit card, cash, online transfer or e-payment.

Passengers under certain categories namely B40, civil servants, persons with disabilities and Malaysian students as determined by the government can choose to undergo the screening test provided by either MOH or BP Clinical Lab on a complimentary basis.
