It began life as Terminal 3 a bustling domestic hub. Airbus and Boeing jets routinely touched down here. This was the main airport for Kuala Lumpur from 1965 to 1998. Then Malaysia Airlines and other major players moved to KLIA. AirAsia too found a new home at KLIA2.

Extensive renovations followed. From 2008 to 2009 the terminal was reborn as Subang Skypark. It also proudly bears another name: Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport.
