That's sad. Always have loved Aeroline since it provides direct transport from Queensbay Penang to KLCC. Would have loved it if they direct transport to Lalaport but oh well...

To our Aeroline family,
For over two decades, the sight of our iconic yellow Aeroline buses navigating the streets of Kuala Lumpur has been a symbol of hassle-free and reliable travel. It is therefore with a heavy heart that we announce a major transition: Aeroline buses will ๐ผ๐ณ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ป ๐ฒ๐

We know this comes as a shock to many of our loyal passengers, but this decision stems from a systemic regulatory challenge that we have been navigating for the past 15 years. It truly has been an exhausting journey for us and if given the opportunity, we hope to share the deeper history of this unbelievable journey with you. But today, we want to lay out the facts of our current situation transparently.

When our long-standing home at Corus KLCC was no longer suitable to serve as an Aeroline station, we relocated to ๐ง๐ฅ๐ซ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐ถ๐ป๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐บ. This move proved to be hugely popular and an absolute boon for our passengersโespecially vulnerable groups like the elderly, families with young children, and first-time tourists.
By positioning the bus station a few steps from the countryโs only MRT exchange, we offered a truly seamless travel experience. The most popular tourist hotspots like Bukit Bintang, KLCC, and Chinatown are just a few stops away, and the crucial "last mile" of travel is effortlessly achieved. TRX is, without a doubt, the most ideal, strategic gateway into KL for overland FIT (Fully Independent Traveler) travellers and guests entering the heart of Kuala Lumpurโdelivering them right where they need and also for their onward journey to the rest of Malaysia. The simple boarding process, coupled with this strategic location fully embodies Aeroline's core mission to refine travel for everyone.

On 13th May 2026, we received a strict directive stating that we are only permitted to operate from licensed terminals. Under current regulations, the only licensed stations available to us today are ๐ญ ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐บ๐ฎ, ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐, ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ข๐ ๐๐ถ๐๐ ๐ ๐ฎ๐น๐น.
This has placed us in an impossible conundrum for our KL passengers:
โ๐ช๐ต๐ ๐ป๐ผ๐ ๐ท๐๐๐ ๐บ๐ผ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ผ๐ฟ๐? Many of you will naturally ask this. Unfortunately, the commercial fees imposed for our buses and passengers to land at LaLaport do not align with our long standing core value of providing "value for money." We believe it is neither fair nor right to simply pass these unprecedented costs to our passengers.
โ๐ ๐๐ผ๐บ๐ฝ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ผ๐ป ๐ค๐๐ฎ๐น๐ถ๐๐: In addition, the physical setup at LaLaport makes it difficult to replicate the signature Aeroline experience that our passengers have come to appreciateโincluding comfortable waiting lounges, complimentary refreshments, as well as personalised assistance for ticketing, check-in and account-related enquiries.
๐ฅ๏ธ๐๐ฑ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ถ๐๐๐ฟ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ป๐ด๐ฒ๐ : Our ticketing and reservation system also requires a more sophisticated level of administrative and customer support compared to conventional bus operations. Replicating these service standards within the current operating framework would require substantial additional manpower, facilities, and operational expenditure on top of the existing commercial charges already imposed at the terminal.
Ultimately, these compounded costs would make the entire proposal financially untenable without significantly compromising either service quality or affordability for our passengers.
Rather than compromising our values, charging you more, or delivering a compromised experience, ๐๐ฒ ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐บ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ต๐ฒ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ณ๐ณ๐ถ๐ฐ๐๐น๐ ๐ฑ๐ฒ๐ฐ๐ถ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ผ ๐น๐ฒ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ ๐๐ ๐ฒ๐ป๐๐ถ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐น๐ ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฑ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฐ๐๐ ๐ผ๐ป ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ผ๐ ๐ฒ๐น๐๐ฒ๐๐ต๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ฒ.
