We’re sure your social media feeds are full of KLIA aerotrain breakdown stuff, but here comes official word. Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has confirmed that the aerotrain was suspended for an hour due to heavy rain causing water accumulation in the tunnel, reports the New Straits Times.
MAHB said in a statement that there was a technical fault in one of the drainage pumps during the downpour at 11am, which stopped the automatic removal of water.
“The tunnel’s drainage system includes pumps designed to manage water ingress during severe weather conditions. As a safety precaution, train operations were suspended until the water was manually cleared and the tracks were confirmed safe for use.
“Service resumed at 12.15pm after clearance was obtained from the technical and safety teams,” the statement said, adding that the pump system is currently being rectified to ensure optimal future performance in adverse weather.
“Our technical teams continue to monitor the aerotrain system closely during these early stages of operation to ensure that any necessary adjustments are promptly addressed. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we fine-tune this new system,” said MAHB.
The KLIA aerotrain resumed operations on July 1 following a RM456 million upgrade exercise as part of a RM742 million transformation initiative by MAHB, after having been out of action since March 2023. Flight passengers have been bussing between the main and satellite buildings for two years. The new Alstom Innovia APM 300R trains do the one-kilometre journey in under three minutes.

Just pathetic,disgusting,unacceptable.
And the beautiful part is fat fat Ahlokekor,was in the rombongan with PMX.
If ahlokekor keep wasting time selling syiok number plates,then dont harap any good from this regime.
yeah tony loke should stop wasting time selling number plates and get his hands dirty wrenching and fixing the train himself since he is a qualified mechanical engineer /s.
come on man next time if the klia toilet dirty also want to blame loke?
Lolololololol!!!!
This country don’t deserved to be called Malaysia if nothing fxxxs up
Hey, so sorry your WiFi isn’t working after you paid for an expensive repair which took really long to complete.
Actually sir, the WiFi router is fine.
It’s just that we gave you a faulty fiber-optic cable.
So, can you please stop saying your WiFi is down? Thanks ya.
See how stupid that sounds?
I guess those months testing stopped when it rains. Snd resume after the rain.and i thought with new management, things would improve. I was wrong.
2 years to fix aero train. Original PUTRA LRT took 5 years to complete. MRT 1 around 5-6 years depending on when you count the start of construction. And this aero train on day 1 got issue after months of ‘testing’. Something doesn’t compute somewhere…
Hahahaha….. What a lame duck those ppl claiming credit and tayang tayang.
But 1km in 3 minutes? Good runners can do sub 4mins for 1km wo. So tech maju?
lol, coz some 1 used it before?
