PUTRAJAYA, May 31 — The aerotrain service at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 will resume 24-hour operations from midnight today following the completion of a Comprehensive Action Plan (CAP), said Transport Minister Loke Siew Fook.
He said the plan, launched in November, was carried out with the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) and verified by independent railway assessors.
“The CAP covered three structured stages, namely, inspection and rectification works, system testing and validation, and trials.
“Endurance testing was conducted over 24-hour and 48-hour periods under both passenger and non-passenger conditions,” he said in a statement today.
Loke said the aerotrain has logged a 100 per cent score in Operational Service Availability since January.
He added that daily engineering hours from 12am to 5am would be maintained, during which a single train would serve passengers while routine inspection and maintenance works are performed.
“The Transport Ministry, through APAD, will continue to exercise regulatory oversight over the aerotrain operations, while Malaysia Airports (Holdings Bhd) remains accountable for maintaining the service standards established under this plan,” Loke said.
