A comprehensive action plan (CAP) will be activated by Malaysia Airports starting Nov 15 to enhance the aerotrain system at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd managing director Datuk Mohd Izani Ghani said the CAP which will run until Dec 15, will involve comprehensive inspection, testing and where required, rectification across the overall system and its critical subsystems of the aerotrain.
00:00The standards is upon delivery of train service on 1st July this year, the DLP runs over 24 months, which means it will end in June 27.
00:14So here we are today on 14 with a plan to implement comprehensive action plan tomorrow is well within the DLP period that we have of 24 months.
00:27So for those who are familiar with train, those reps there, we did it on 1st July when we first operated.
00:35But if you are at the terminal these days, these two days, few days, now the rep has changed.
00:40Malaysia Airlines has wrapped up with their own adverts on, you know, to promote Malaysia Airlines.
00:46In July, we clocked 98.06% performance with total return trips over 12,000 trips.
00:57And in terms of ridership, over 1.5 million passengers we carried.
01:03In August, impressive percentage of 99.9%, almost perfect score that we have delivered.
01:15Over 12,000 trips with ridership, close to 1.7 million passengers that we carried on the train.
01:23In September, 99.53% in terms of return trips, more than 12,000 as well.
01:34And passenger ridership is 1.6 million plus of passengers.
01:40And in October, 95.89% with 12,000 plus of trips.
01:48And ridership of 1.7 million passengers.
01:53Starting from tomorrow, we are going to implement this CAP, whereby the train service will be stopped temporarily between 9 o'clock at night until 7 in the morning.
02:11We need about 10 hours daily, just to make sure that we implement our CAP.
02:18A bit more detail that I can share with you in terms of timeline.
02:23It cuts across three stages.
02:25First stage is actually the work that we will do to perform inspection, testing, alignment and verification for all systems.
02:34We anticipate this work will take up about four weeks or a month or so, up to 15th of December, mid of December.
02:44And then, during the month, sometime in early December, we will comment stage 2, a system and vehicle testing.
02:52Once we have completed stage 1 and 2, that's where we proceed with trial operations under stage 3.
02:58In a month or so, between now and to December, as we have picked up from our announcement one or two weeks ago,
03:06we are engaging independent assessors to look at the system, complete system, to review the system as well.
03:15So, we are working with our independent assessors to make sure that they deliver the report for us.
03:22Any recommendations will be done within this period.
03:27And as I said earlier on, immediately when we do the so-called the hours for the services, CAP,
03:38the bus service will take place in full operations to ensure that it's seamless passenger flow between terminal building and satellite and vice versa.
03:50It's daily from 9 at night until 7 in the morning.
03:54Also, our team of ops team also will try to optimize the gate allocation at MTB so that we can minimize the transfer passengers to satellite.
