SEPANG: Independent railway assessors have confirmed that the KL International Airport (KLIA) Aerotrain system is operating as intended, with service disruptions since commissioning that are commonly encountered in the early operational phase of complex rail systems. The independent assessment identified two critical systems with a direct influence on train reliability, service availability, and recovery performance: the power supply system and the rolling stock. According to MAHB, the CAP has been implemented through coordinated workstreams covering inspection and rectification, system testing and validation and trial operations. "Inspection and rectification activities across the Aerotrain system have been completed, with the programme now at the final milestone to close out remaining rectification actions identified during system-wide inspections," it added. MAHB said it will continue to implement the remaining CAP measures in a coordinated and proportionate manner, supported by ongoing monitoring and independent oversight to further strengthen system reliability and ensure consistent Aerotrain operations at KLIA.
