Two flights cancelled at Kuching airport as haze worsens
KUALA LUMPUR: Two flights were cancelled at Kuching International Airport today as haze conditions deteriorated in parts of Sarawak.
Kuching International Airport (KIA) operations continued largely unimpeded despite worsening haze conditions, with only two flights cancelled, according to senior manager Jun Iskandar Murshidi. The two affected flights were Kuching-Mukah and Kuching-Tanjung Manis, both operated by AirBorneo Airways. The Kuching-Mukah flight carried 24 passengers, while five passengers were booked on the Kuching-Tanjung Manis service.
As of 4:25pm, visibility at both Runway 07 and Runway 25 stood at 2,000 metres, well above the airport's minimum requirement of 800 metres. AirBorneo had not yet provided further details on the specific cancellations at the time of this report. Earlier in the day, AirBorneo had posted on its Facebook page that selected flights were impacted by the worsening haze, urging passengers to check the airline's website for the latest updates on their specific flight.
