KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 26 (NNN-BERNAMA) — Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) has not ruled out the possibility that the recent network failure, which resulted in a systems disruption at the KL International Airport, was caused by an act of malicious intent.
“Nevertheless, we will put this in the hands of the authorities to do a full investigation on the matter,” the airport operator said in a statement today.
It also said the network was “stabilising well.”
The information counter at the KLIA in Sepang, 60km away from here, had been experiencing service disruption in the last four days.
The disruption to the airport’s Total Airport Management System (TAMS) had affected flight display information and slowed the check-in process, among others.
Despite the network disruption in the last several days, the security aspects at the airport had remained intact, MAHB said.
This was possible due to the close cooperation given by the Department of Immigration Malaysia and the Royal Malaysia Police, it said.
“While we have extended all possible assistance to the airlines during this period, the same level of assistance, cooperation and understanding was also given to us by the airlines.
“We would like to take this opportunity to once again express our sincere gratitude to our airline and agency stakeholders for coming together and providing the best fall back solutions,” it said.
MAHB shares on Bursa Malaysia closed seven sen lower at RM8.56 today with 1.83 million shares changing hands.
