The operator issued a service update at 6am, informing passengers that a combined train service would continue until further notice. From 5am, trains ran every 20 minutes between KL Sentral and KLIA Terminal 2 (T2), halting at every station.\n\nThe technical team was directed to fix the fault and restore normal services as quickly as possible. Passengers were advised to consult station staff for the most recent updates and assistance. At 9.30am, KLIA Ekspres announced the commencement of shuttle train services between the affected stations. KL Sentral to Putrajaya & Cyberjaya Station shuttle trains started at 9.20am, while KLIA T2 to Putrajaya & Cyberjaya Station trains began at 9.10am, operating every 15 minutes in both directions.\n\nAt 11.20am, the operator confirmed that a combined service had been reinstated, with trains running every 20 minutes and stopping at all stations.
