Loke said the service restoration follows the completion of a comprehensive action plan implemented in coordination with the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) and verified by independent railway assessors.

“The ministry, through Apad, will continue to exercise regulatory oversight over the aerotrain’s operations, while Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) remains accountable for maintaining the service standards established under this plan,” he said in a statement.

Loke said routine inspection and maintenance will be carried out from midnight to 5am daily, during which a single train will continue serving passengers.

The comprehensive action plan, undertaken since November 2025, covered three structured stages – inspection and rectification works, system testing and validation, and trial operations.

“Endurance testing was conducted over 24-hour and 48-hour periods under both passenger and non-passenger conditions. Since January, the aerotrain has recorded 100% operational service availability,”he said.

Last November, MAHB said it was committed to enhancing the reliability of KLIA’s aerotrain system through a comprehensive plan aimed at fully resolving technical issues that surfaced after services resumed last July.

Deputy transport minister Hasbi Habibollah previously said 19 minor incidents involving the aerotrain were recorded between July 2 and Sept 30 last year, involving the signalling system as well as cases where passengers attempted to manually force open the train doors, among others.

Since operations resumed on July 1, the aerotrain system has transported about seven million passengers and completed more than 53,000 round trips, achieving an operational service availability rate of 98.41%.
