Blackout at KLIA disrupts flights

The incident resulted in several flight delays, and many baggages left behind.

KUALA LUMPUR: The KL International Airport (KLIA) suffered power breakdown this morning.
Although it was restored shortly after, the incident had resulted in several flight delays, according to a statement from Malaysia Airlines.

“Of the 42 scheduled flights, 13 were delayed and more than 300 bags were left behind due to the power interruption,” said the national carrier.

It said both Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad and Malaysia Airlines were currently working to sort out all baggage that were left behind during the interruption as well as making every possible effort to restore the flights and ensure minimal disruption to passengers’ flights.

The airline advised customers to check with the Malaysia Airlines office at their destination upon arrival in the event that they had missing baggage.

“Our representative offices would be able to advise on the arrival times or provide a status up-date of their baggage,” it added.

All passengers who have confirmed flights are advised to log onto the Malaysia Airlines’ website to check the status of their flights before making their way to the KLIA.
