KLIA will be carrying out scheduled overnight works on its Aerotrain system for two weeks beginning on Aug 18 to enhance its performance.
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd said the works will take place daily from midnight to 5am to minimise passenger disruption, Bernama reported.
“During this period, the Aerotrain service will be temporarily unavailable, and airside shuttle buses will be provided to maintain seamless connectivity between the main terminal building and the satellite building,” MAHB said.
It advised travellers to follow the airport signage and guidance from on-ground personnel.
KLIA managing director Izani Ghani said the maintenance is part of ongoing efforts to fine-tune the system using real-time data since its launch.
“These scheduled works are essential to ensure optimal system responsiveness, safety and long-term reliability,” he said.
He said KLIA is also introducing technical upgrades, including a new automatic vehicle wash plant on the Aerotrain track, replacing the previous manual washing method.
Since its launch on July 1, the Aerotrain has transported more than two million passengers, logged more than 1,100 service hours, and completed 18,800 trips.
It has faced some minor service disruptions recently because of technical glitches and water ponding after heavy rain, but these were resolved without major breakdowns.
