##### On July 1 of this year, the KLIA Aerotrain was finally unveiled to the public after years of upgrades which came to around a whopping RM456 million.

But since then, its performance has been less than stellar, with passengers having to contend with constant breakdowns and issues which have affected their travel plans.

## Another Aerotrain breakdown

[China Press](https://www.chinapress.com.my/?p=4644827) recently reported that the latest incident took place early this morning, where the Aerotrain failed to transport passengers to their destination following a breakdown for the umpteenth time.

According to a reader, the breakdown forced passengers to exit the Aerotrain and walk along with tracks while carrying their luggage with them in the dark.

Some were also seen holding their young children's hand in order to ensure they do not fall onto the tracks.

## Recurring problem

Unfortunately, the Aerotrain has long been plagued with issues despite the millions of Ringgit that was poured into upgrading it.

##### According to Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah, he told Parliament earlier this month that a total of 19 incidents were recorded between July 2 and Sept 30.

These incidents included signalling problems and human-related incidents, such as passengers forcing open the train doors, reported [NST](https://www.nst.com.my/news/nation/2025/10/1293486/klia-aerotrain-recorded-19-incidents-3-months-says-deputy-minister).

Hasbi added that the Aerotrain project at KLIA Terminal 1, which was fully completed on June 30, is currently in its two-year defect liability period.

"At present, the Aerotrain's mechanical and signalling systems are undergoing an early adjustment phase towards achieving full operational stability.

"In this regard, Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) continues to work closely with the manufacturer, Alstom, to remain ready to take immediate action whenever necessary to ensure smooth operations."
