Aeroline resumed operations on 28 November 2025, a week earlier than expected.

The bus operator was suspended on 6 November for repeatedly picking up passengers at unapproved locations like Corus KLCC, 1 Utama and Sunway Pyramid instead of using approved terminals. The suspension was supposed to last until 5 December. APAD gave clearance for the early return.

All pickup and dropoff locations remain the same, including Corus Hotel, Sunway Pyramid and One Utama. Routes from Singapore's HarbourFront Centre to Kuala Lumpur are already accepting bookings.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke clarified the government isn't forcing operators to use TBS, but requires them to operate from safe, licensed areas. What agreement allowed the early resumption remains unclear.

Passengers seem happy about the return, though questions linger about long-term arrangements with authorities.

Malaysians and their vehicles are stuck in Hatyai after record-breaking floods swept through the city.

The waters are going down, but the damage is done. People have lost their belongings and can't leave yet. They're waiting without knowing when things will get better or when they can go home.
