After a few years of hiatus, Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s (KLIA) Aerotrain services were relaunched on July 1. The train services became temporarily unavailable again today (July 4), less than a week after the relaunch.

The matter initially went viral via a Facebook post today by Places and Food. The suspended service and the disruption in the schedule were also discussed on Reddit. In another Facebook post, it was also claimed that the train allegedly went through a service disruption on July 2, in which netizens hinted at a possible sabotage.

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), on the other hand, has denied all claims about the train services breaking down.

Responding to the alleged schedule disruption, MAHB also stated that the transportation of passengers to the airport’s satellite terminal was uninterrupted thanks to the shuttle bus services.

The train operations were suspended until the water was manually cleared and the tracks were confirmed safe for use.

MAHB also thanked visitors for their patience and cooperation as they upgrade the new system, according to New Straits Times.

The new aerotrain set consists of three carriages and can carry up to 270 passengers.
