National Day flypast means brief KLIA flight pauses – here’s when

Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) will temporarily halt flights during National Day festivities, with take-offs and landings suspended on key dates. The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) announced the airspace closure, necessary for rehearsals and the flypast in Putrajaya. The affected periods are Aug 26-28 and Aug 31, with specific times for rehearsals and the flypast.

Passengers should verify flight status with airlines, as some flights may be rescheduled. CAAM emphasized the importance of these measures to maintain the safety and efficiency of Malaysia's airspace during the national celebration.
