KLIA to hold aviation security exercise on Thursday

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) will conduct an aviation security exercise on Thursday to evaluate the nation's readiness to handle potential threats. The National Security Council (NSC), part of the Prime Minister's Department, announced the event, which will take place at KLIA Terminal 1 from 9am to 11.30pm. The exercise, in partnership with Malaysia Airports, seeks to measure the country's readiness, inter-agency coordination, and the effectiveness of its response mechanism to civil aviation security risks.

Flight operations will continue as normal, with no impact on flight services or operations at the airport. The NSC reassured the public attending KLIA Terminal 1 to remain composed if they observe security personnel, equipment, or training activities during the exercise. They emphasized that no genuine threat exists, and all activities are simulated for training purposes.
