KUALA LUMPUR: KLIA Transit services between KL Sentral and Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) have been increased to accommodate additional passengers in light of road closures for Chinese President Xi Jinping's three-day state visit to Malaysia.
KLIA Ekspres said train frequency would be increased to one every 15 minutes during evening peak hours from 3pm to 8pm on Tuesday (April 15) and during morning peak hours from 6am to 11am on Thursday (April 17).
"Travellers to and from the airport are encouraged to take advantage of the additional train services for a smoother and more reliable journey," it said in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
President Xi's visit is at the invitation of Yang di-Pertuan Agong Sultan Ibrahim and marks a continuation of Malaysia-China diplomatic relations that have spanned over five decades. It is his second official visit to Malaysia following his first in 2013.
The special aircraft carrying the Chinese leader is scheduled to land at the Bunga Raya Complex of the Kuala Lumpur International Airport on Tuesday evening.
Bukit Aman traffic investigation and enforcement department director Datuk Seri Mohd Yusri Hassan Basri said a total of 17 routes would be temporary closed for between 30 and 45 minutes, depending on the movement of the delegation. – Bernama
