2 penerbangan di lapangan terbang Kuching batal akibat jerebu

This afternoon, AirBorneo Airways informed passengers via Facebook that some flights were canceled at Kuching International Airport (KIA) due to worsening poor visibility conditions. In the city of Kuching, two flights operated by AirBorneo Airways were canceled – one from Kuching to Mukah and another from Kuching to Tanjung Manis. The flights had 24 passengers and five passengers respectively, according to The Borneo Post.

KIA assistant Jun Iskandar Murshidi said that visibility in several areas of Sarawak was severely hampered, despite the airport's operations not being affected. He added that the visibility at Runway 07 and Runway 25 was at 2,000 meters, significantly higher than the minimum required visibility of 800 meters for KIA.
