PETALING JAYA:

A full-scale aircraft accident simulation will take place at the Denai Alam R&R on the Damansara-Shah Alam Elevated Expressway (DASH) between 8am and 2pm on Thursday.

Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) said the Ex Urban Falcon 2026 drill is being held in collaboration with Projek Lintasan Kota Holdings Sdn Bhd (Prolintas) and the information department as part of the National Air Disaster Preparedness Programme 2026.

The programme is organised by MAHB in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Agency, the Selangor government and Prolintas-DASH.

“The air disaster exercise is designed to assess preparedness, coordination, and response capabilities in the event of an emergency.

“The programme also aims to assess the response capabilities of the various security and emergency agencies involved,” Bernama quoted MAHB as saying today.

MAHB urged DASH users and the public to cooperate during the exercise if they encounter emergency vehicles, smoke, aircraft replicas, sirens, or other simulated activities near the Denai Alam R&R area, as these are part of the drill.

It also advised the public to comply with instructions from personnel on site to ensure the exercise runs smoothly. - FMT
