The aerotrain service at KLIA has resumed round-the-clock operations following the completion of scheduled maintenance works.

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) managing director Izani Ghani said maintenance works were carried out from midnight to 5am from Aug 18 to Aug 31 and had not disrupted passenger connectivity.

In a statement, he said airside shuttle buses had ensured seamless travel between the main terminal building and the satellite building during the period in question.

Izani said the exercise was conducted to fine-tune system responsiveness and reliability based on operational data collected since the aerotrain’s launch on July 1.

Contractor Alstom also tested the aerotrain’s updated signalling software during the scheduled works, he said.

“The aerotrain is a vital link in KLIA’s operations and the group is committed to ensuring its reliability. The completion of these scheduled works reflects our focus on service excellence and ensuring a smooth travel experience at the airport.

“We will continue to invest in infrastructure that delivers greater reliability, safety and comfort for all travellers,” he said.

Malaysia Airports operates 39 airports in Malaysia and one international airport in Istanbul, Turkey. Its flagship KLIA is among the region’s preferred aviation hubs.
