KLIA T1 Aerotrain will resume its 24-Hour operations by the end of May 2026

According to The Star, the Aerotrain service at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1 will resume 24-hour operations by the end of this month, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke yesterday. So, what should you know about it?

There have been various breakdown issues

For your information, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has completed all Aerotrain tests, with a report being prepared for the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD). Aerotrain resumed full operations on July 1 last year after a two-year hiatus for upgrades.

But within three days, various issues emerged with services being disrupted frequently. As a mitigation measure, Aerotrain services were suspended during off-peak hours to undergo daily maintenance. The Aerotrain was originally scheduled to cease operations in March 2023 due to various breakdown issues, as it was too old. It began operations in 1998, connecting the main terminal with satellite terminal A.

In its 25-year history of operation, there have been several incidents of breakdowns that have caused operations to be temporarily halted. Since operations were halted to go to Satellite Terminal A, regular passengers have to take buses, while luxury vehicle services are offered for business class passengers.
