2 penerbangan di lapangan terbang Kuching batal akibat jerebu
Penerbangan yang dibatalkan adalah Kuching-Mukah dan Kuching-Tanjung Manis yang dikendalikan AirBorneo Airways.
Today, AirBorneo Airways informed passengers on Facebook that several flights were canceled due to worsening weather conditions at Kuching International Airport (KIA). Two flights were grounded at KIA today due to the worsening weather conditions that hamper visibility in certain areas of Sarawak, although the airport's operations weren't directly impacted.
KIA Deputy Manager Jun Iskandar Murshidi said the affected services were AirBorneo Airways' Kuching-Mukah and Kuching-Tanjung Manis flights. The Kuching-Mukah flight had 24 passengers, while the Tanjung Manis flight had five passengers waiting to board. By 4:25 PM, the Borneo Post reported, two flights were canceled. Jun explained that the visibility on Runway 07 and Runway 25 was at 2,000 meters, significantly higher than the KIA's minimum visibility requirement of 800 meters.
