Passengers travelling to and from the airport are advised to check with their airlines for updates and the latest status of their flights.
Yesterday, the runway at Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA) was closed to carry out necessary repairs. The airport in Malaysia was left without its main runway for several hours, causing delays and cancellations for at least 20 flights. Those in charge at Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd announced the runway's reopening at 11:30 PM after conducting final safety checks.
Flights resumed their operations, but passengers were advised to consult their airlines for the most recent flight status and updates. The closure affected both incoming and outgoing flights, causing some delays and diversions to other airports like Labuan and Sandakan. This situation left numerous passengers stranded, waiting for several hours for updated information on their schedules.
