KUALA Lumpur International Airport’s (KLIA) long-awaited aerotrain is finally nearing its return to service. According to news reports, Transport Minister Anthony Loke recently hinted that the system is likely to be operational soon, “Loke hints KLIA aerotrain to be back in service soon” (The Star, June 5).
