Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman has directed Malaysia Airports
Bhd (MAB) to explain to the state cabinet the runway lights fiasco that
rocked KK International Airport (KKIA) for two days.
“The
cabinet is expecting a full report from MAB and the measures to be taken
to ensure that it doesn't happen again,” Musa said in a statement
yesterday.
Musa said the blackout of the runway lights on Thursday
should never have happened at KKIA, which is the country's second
busiest airport.
“And the problem should not have taken so long to
fix. It inconvenienced thousands and may possibly have affected Sabah's
image as a tourist destination,” he added.
Some 6,000 passengers
in 51 flights were affected by flight cancellations, diversions and
delays. MAB managed to overcome the problem at about 10pm on Friday
after a sub-contractor replaced damaged cables on one of the two
runways. The runway light problem was widely blamed on the much delayed
upgrading of the airport's facilities, including the runway extension.
On
Saturday, the MAB came out to fully explain the events that led to the
delays and apologised to airlines and passengers. It said the failure of
the lights was due to electricity leakage from cables.
