SEPANG, May 5 — The Aerotrain service at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is expected to resume 24-hour operations by the end of this month, pending approval from the relevant authorities, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
All necessary tests have been carried out by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), and a full report is currently being submitted to the Land Public Transport Agency for further assessment.
“It is expected that after APAD’s approval, by the end of this month, the Aerotrain will resume 24-hour operations,” he said during a media conference after launching the MyKLIA and MyPutrajaya Monthly TravelCard at KLIA Terminal 2 today.
Loke added that the Aerotrain is still in operation but is halted for a few hours at night for maintenance and inspections.
“It is still operating, but we suspend services for a few hours at night to carry out track maintenance and inspections,” he said.
On November 14 last year, MAHB reiterated its commitment to strengthening the reliability of the KLIA Aerotrain system by implementing a comprehensive action plan to fully address technical issues that have emerged since the service resumed in July 2025.
Previously, Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah said that the KLIA Terminal 1 Aerotrain had recorded 19 incidents between July 2 and September 30, due to various issues, including human-related incidents such as passengers forcing train doors open.
Since resuming operations on July 1, the Aerotrain system has served about seven million passengers, completed more than 53,000 return trips, and recorded an operational service availability of 98.41 per cent.
