PUTRAJAYA, Aug 28 — A temporary power disruption occurred at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 2 (KLIA2) today following a flashover incident involving cable termination, says Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB).
MAHB assured that airport operations were not affected, as essential systems continued running without interruption.
“Our essential power systems including backup generators activated immediately, ensuring the uninterrupted functionality of critical systems such as baggage handling, check-in counters, and flight information displays,” it said in a statement today.
MAHB said its technical teams responded swiftly and professionally, rerouting power from an alternate substation and successfully restoring full power supply within 28 minutes.
“All essential services remained operational throughout,” it added.
MAHB said a full report of the incident was being prepared for submission to Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.
“We are conducting a thorough assessment of the incident to prevent future occurrences and ensure the resilience of our infrastructure,” it said.
KLIA2 was struck by a power blackout at 2.15pm today, and Loke called it completely unacceptable as it affected the country’s image.
The incident occurred while Loke was at the airport for the launch of “Tap, Travel and Discover” by gateway@klia2.
