Just a data point on non-MH airlines and the transfer desk:
I had a self-transit to an SQ flight, so went to the transit desk at T-3h, but no SQ-designated staff were there.
I tried again at T-1.5h, but again no one was there. I asked someone who was sitting there for another airline’s flight from SQ’s contractor POS Aviation (sign said PR, I think?) , but they could not help.
I finally went to the gate, and started the security line - only opens T-1, so I was at the front - to go to the gate agents immediately when security opened. However, an agent was standing just inside security, so I got their attention and they were very helpful to check me in before T-1h.
So it appears that each airline chooses whether the check-in contractors man the transit desk for each of that airline’s flights.
Below might be misremembered, but I think I have seen the following airlines open at the desk / standees in the back (I’ll take photos of these next time):
- Batik
- Cathay Pacific
- Emirates
- Philippines
- Qatar
- Thai
- Turkish
- VietJet?

I unfortunately did not see any signage for AK at the Satellite transit desk, seems they are not asking for the contractor to sit at the transit desk.
I am also not sure the proposed airside T1-KLIA2 transfer has been launched (no announcements / signage), which would mean travellers must go through immigration at T1, then transfer landside to KLIA2, where they can then check in.
