Today, AirBorneo Airways informed passengers via Facebook that some flights were canceled due to worsening weather conditions at Kuching International Airport (KIA). (Picture Bernama) In Kuching, two flights were suspended today due to worsening weather conditions that reduced visibility in certain areas of Sarawak, even though the overall airport operations were not disrupted.

KIA Deputy Chief, Jun Iskandar Murshidi said the affected services were the Kuching-Mukah and Kuching-Tanjung Manis flights operated by AirBorneo Airways. The Kuching-Mukah flight carried 24 passengers, while the Tanjung Manis flight had 5 passengers pre-booked. "As of 4:25 pm, two flights were canceled," The Borneo Post quoted him.

Jun stated that the visibility on Runway 07 and Runway 25 was at 2,000 meters, far exceeding KIA's minimum visibility requirement of 800 meters.
