KUALA LUMPUR: The recent disruption involving the Aerotrain service at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) was not due to mechanical failure but a temporary technical glitch caused by a software bug, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.

Clarifying the matter, the minister said it was important for the public to understand that such system interruptions are not uncommon in large-scale automated operations, especially when they involve complex software.

"It was not a breakdown in the traditional sense. This was a 15-minute disruption caused by a software bug. The system was restored within that period," he told the media at the Asean-China International Rail Transit Forum 2025 here today.
