This timeline is contingent on the successful completion of all necessary commissioning and testing, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.
Transport Minister Anthony Loke assured that the ministry and MAHB are committed to ensuring the project runs smoothly and on schedule.
The three-year aerotrain replacement project came with two deadlines originally, the first being July 2024 for the first of the two aerotrains to be operational, followed by the second one in March 2025 for full completion, with both aerotrain services spanning about 1.
The government will also stop paying ERL fees or charges from the collection of passenger service charges (PSCs) starting 2029.
"We have given the commitment to signing the supplementary concession agreement, so that they can plan to invest in their assets.
Loke said the supplementary concession agreement is seen as a win-win situation between ERL and users, where the best service can be provided by ERL without burdening the operation in terms of costs.
Besides IJM, the other two consortium members are said to be Pestech International Bhd and French rolling stock maker Alstom, both of which are the original contractors.
Besides, MAHB experienced a surge in operations, with the Penang International Airport and Langkawi International Airport recording growth in their international sectors in November.
ERL said the first train from KL Sentral will be at 5am, while the first train departure from KLIA Terminal 2 will be at 4.
