KLIA Aerotrain Expected To Resume 24-hour Service By End Of Month – Loke

SEPANG, May 5 -- The aerotrain service at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is expected to resume 24-hour operations by the end of this month, pending approval from the relevant authorities, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke. He said all necessary tests have been carried out by Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), and a full report is currently being submitted to the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) for further assessment. “It is expected that after APAD’s approval, by the end of this month the aerotrain will resume 24-hour operations,” he told a press conference after launching the MyKLIA and MyPutrajaya Monthly TravelCard (MTC) at KLIA Terminal 2 (T2) here today. Elaborating further, Loke said the aerotrain is currently still in operation but is halted for a few hours at night to allow for maintenance and inspections. “It is still operating, but we suspend services for a few hours at night to carry out track maintenance and inspections,” he said. On Nov 14 last year, MAHB reiterated its commitment to strengthening the reliability of the KLIA aerotrain system through the implementation of a comprehensive action plan (CAP) to fully address technical issues that emerged since the service resumed in July 2025. Previously, Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah said that the KLIA Terminal 1 Aerotrain had recorded 19 incidents between July 2 and Sept 30, due to various issues, including human-related incidents such as passengers forcing train doors open. Since resuming operations on July 1, the aerotrain system has served about seven million passengers, completed more than 53,000 return trips, and recorded an operational service availability (OSA) of 98.41 per cent. -- BERNAMA

KOTA KINABALU, March 18 (Bernama) -- Parti Gagasan Rakyat Sabah (PGRS) plans to restructure its organisation from 74 divisions to just 26 in a move aimed at streamlining and strengthening the party. Its information chief, Datuk Nizam Abu Bakar Titingan, said the proposal had been approved by the party’s Supreme Council to ensure operations are more organised and effective. He said the restructuring is intended to reinforce PGRS as a pillar of Sabah’s unity government while enhancing its efforts to champion the people’s interests. “This restructuring will bring significant benefits to Gagasan Rakyat’s struggle to serve the rakyat,” he told reporters on Tuesday. Nizam, who is also Sabah’s Minister of Youth, Sports and Creative Economy, said the new structure is expected to be based on Sabah’s 25 parliamentary constituencies, along with one in Labuan. He added that the party will convene a special general assembly in the near future to deliberate on related matters, including amendments to its constitution.
