Kuching International Airport (KIA) operations remained largely unaffected by worsening haze conditions, with only two flights cancelled. Senior manager Jun Iskandar Murshidi reported the Kuching-Mukah and Kuching-Tanjung Manis services operated by AirBorneo Airways were the cancelled flights, each carrying 24 and five passengers respectively.
Visibility at both Runway 07 and Runway 25 stood at 2,000 metres, well above the airport's 800-metre minimum requirement. AirBorneo issued a Facebook notice acknowledging the impact of the haze on selected flights, urging passengers to check updated flight information.
