SEPANG, Sept 2 – The automated people mover system (Aerotrain) at KL International Airport (KLIA) is expected to be operational again by Jan 31, 2025, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said two sets of Aerotrain arrived last week and are now entering the installation phase and will enter the inspection phase after that.
“This phase will take about four months,” he said after he visited and looked at the Aerotrain at KLIA Terminal 1 on Monday.
He said the dynamic inspection will start this October, that is the Aerotrain will be tested using the actual track and will go back and forth.
“So I would like to explain to the passengers and the public that if they see Aerotrain operating, it is a test to ensure that everything runs smoothly,” he said.
Loke also said that Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) needs to closely monitor and ensure that all processes and tests are carried out properly so that there are no more delays.
“Next year is an important year for the country because we will chair ASEAN and international meetings and of course we expect this Aerotrain to be ready,” he said.
In total, he said MAHB will receive three Aerotrain sets and each set has three coaches that can accommodate a capacity of 270 passengers.
