KLIA Ekspres/Transit increased frequency – Oct 22-28

The 47th ASEAN Summit that Kuala Lumpur will be hosting this week is set to be the largest meet of its kind organised by the regional block. Aside from leaders of ASEAN countries, world leaders headlined by US president Donald Trump will descend on KL for this edition.

Trump will be joined by Canadian PM Mark Carney, Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, South African president Cyril Ramaphosa, Cyprus president Nikos Christodoulides and Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo. Brazil and South Africa will become Sectoral Dialogue Partners to ASEAN while the two European countries are set to become ASEAN dialogue partners.

The 47th ASEAN Summit could well be the biggest summit Malaysia has ever hosted, and KL city centre will be ‘on total lockdown’, with PDRM out in full force for security and traffic control, according to foreign minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan. Roads to and from the KL International Airport will also affected as the VIPs arrive, so it’s best to take the train.

In conjunction with the 47th ASEAN Summit, KLIA Ekspres and Transit services will operate with increased frequency between KL Sentral and KLIA from October 22-28. The non-stop Ekspres will have a frequency of 15 minutes from 9am to 9pm, and 20 minutes outside of that period. The KLIA Transit will have an extra service at 1am from KLIA2 to KL Sentral. Travellers, prepare earlier and take the train.
