Haze forces cancellation of 2 flights at Kuching airport
The cancelled flights were from Kuching to Mukah and Tanjung Manis, operated by AirBorneo Airways.
Two flights were cancelled at Kuching International Airport (KIA) on today due to worsening haze, according to AirBorneo Airways. The airline had announced the affected services on Facebook, informing passengers that the Kuching-Mukah and Kuching-Tanjung Manis flights operated by their company would be impacted. KIA senior manager Jun Iskandar Murshidi stated that visibility at Runway 07 and Runway 25 was 2,000 meters, which is well above the airport's minimum visibility requirement of 800 meters.
The Kuching-Mukah service had 24 passengers, while the Tanjung Manis flight was booked by five passengers. Despite the cancellation, airport operations were largely unaffected.
