[Watch] KLIA's Aerotrain Hits Another Snag: MCA Questions RM456 Million Investment
Subscribe to our FREE Malaysia's flagship airport faced another hiccup when the Aerotrain at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) ground to a halt due to technical difficulties, forcing passengers to queue for replacement buses. The trouble started at 10:30 AM on Monday (4 August) when train doors failed to close properly, triggering an automatic safety shutdown that lasted 15 minutes. Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) quickly activated shuttle bus services to keep passengers moving between terminals while engineers worked on the problem. 'The Aerotrain service resumed at 11:01 AM and operations are now back to normal,' MAHB said in a statement, apologising for any inconvenience caused. Social media users were quick to document the disruption, with X user @afiqmukhtar posting images of stranded passengers walking between KLIA's Terminal 1 and the Satellite Building. He also tagged Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and Transport Minister Anthony Loke, in his posts about the incident. Aero train KLIA rosak lagi?!

Passengers Upset Over Aerotrain Breaking Down Again; KLIA Issues Apology
One of the most talked-about issues at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) continues to be its aerotrain service. The system, designed to provide seamless connectivity between the main terminal and the satellite terminal, had its reopening delayed to July due to repeated breakdowns. However, just days after the relaunch, the service faced yet another disruption; this time attributed to ageing infrastructure. Unsurprisingly, the incident left many passengers frustrated. Unfortunately, it seems there is still much room for improvement, as the aerotrain reportedly broke down again yesterday (Monday, 4th August). Here's what happened: A Twitter user, @afiqmukhtar, took to the platform to share his experience at KLIA. According to the passenger, a malfunction forced passengers to rely on shuttle buses to move between terminals. 'KLIA's aerotrain broke down again? It costs millions to fix, but it still can't hold passenger capacity? What's going on here?' he wrote, tagging Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Transport Minister Anthony Loke, and Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad (MAHB) in the post. Another passenger affected by the incident told China Press that he did not expect the aerotrains to face a disruption prior to takeoff. Later the same day, KLIA issued an official apology, stating: 'We apologise to passengers who were impacted by a technical issue affecting the Aerotrain this morning. At 10:30am, a door malfunction resulted in a temporary pause in operations for 15 minutes.' The airport added that service resumed at approximately 11:01am and operations have since returned to normal. However, the statement did little to dispel public doubt or dissatisfaction. Some netizens pointed out inconsistencies in the timeline, questioning how a 15-minute disruption could span from 10:30am to 11:01am. Others criticised the lack of noticeable improvements, despite millions being spent on investments and repairs. While technical issues are not uncommon, their frequent recurrence is both concerning and highly inconvenient for many travellers. Hopefully, such incidents can be minimised in the near future, or at the very least, occur far less frequently than they do now.

KLIA apologises for pause in Aerotrain services
A photograph taken by @afiqmukhtar and posted on X this morning of the breakdown in the Aerotrain services at KLIA. (X pic) PETALING JAYA : Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) has issued an official apology for the temporary pause in Aerotrain operations this morning. In a post on X this evening, KLIA explained that the 15-minute delay was caused by a door malfunction, and shuttle buses were deployed during that time to maintain connectivity. 'Services resumed at 11.01am and operations are now back to normal. Thank you for your patience,' it said on its official @KLIA_my account. X user @afiqmukhtar had highlighted the service disruption at 10.52am, asking why the Aerotrain had 'broken down again'. 'Millions (spent for) repairs but it still cannot hold passengers to capacity. What is this?' he said, also tagging Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, transport minister Loke Siew Fook, and Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) in his post. MCA Youth secretary-general Saw Yee Fung later called on the transport ministry to set up a special task force to investigate the true cause of the service's problems. 'According to news reports, the driverless train's services returned to operations after undergoing upgrading work worth RM456 million, with its operations having been suspended for 28 months. 'Nevertheless, its repeated disruptions within the past month are disappointing and unacceptable,' she said. On July 2, Facebook user Ahmad Ramadzan Soid posted that one of the trains had broken down, while other netizens said a passenger had caused the train's door to jam. On July 4, travel blogger CK Ng posted that the trains were not in service, with passengers being transported to the airport's satellite terminal by bus instead. MAHB explained that the lack of service on July 4 was due to one of the drainage pumps experiencing a technical fault amid heavy rainfall, preventing the automatic removal of accumulated water. Loke attributed the rainwater issue to the airport's legacy facilities, and denied the problem was in the Aerotrain's design. 'The incident was neither caused by any weakness in the new Aerotrain system itself, nor because the train 'cannot withstand heavy rain' as some quarters have suggested. 'When the pump failed to operate as designed, rainwater accumulated in the tunnel and reached a safety threshold, automatically activating the Aerotrain's safety systems to suspend operations as a precaution,' he said. Loke said the two incidents 'demonstrate the integrity and reliability of the new Aerotrain's safety systems', and that the new Aerotrain assets are 'built to meet international standards and are operating well'. The new Aerotrain services began on July 1, involving three trains with a maximum capacity of 270 passengers each.
