Malaysia Airports ordered to ensure no recurrence of KLIA T2 power outage


PUTRAJAYA: Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has been ordered to take necessary action to prevent a recurrence of the recent power outage at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 2, says Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.

Fahmi, who is also the Madani government spokesperson, said Transport Minister Anthony Loke had briefed the Cabinet on Friday (Aug 29) on the incident and confirmed that a detailed report is expected to be completed within two to four weeks.

"The report will provide a thorough explanation of what exactly happened and outline the steps MAHB will take to ensure such incidents will not recur," he told a press conference after the weekly Cabinet meeting here on Friday.

Fahmi noted that backup systems functioned effectively during the outage, ensuring that critical airport systems remained operational.

On Thursday (Aug 28), MAHB confirmed that a temporary power disruption occurred at KLIA Terminal 2 following a flashover incident involving cable termination but assured that the airport operations were not affected as essential systems continued running.

Loke also expressed strong disapproval over the incident, saying it was completely unacceptable and had tarnished the country's image. – Bernama
