Malaysia Airlines advises extra travel time to KLIA during F1 weekend
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines has advised passengers travelling through Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) between Oct 2 and 4 to allow extra time for their journey due to expected traffic congestion during the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix Malaysia 2026.
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) will experience increased traffic during the Formula 1 Grand Prix Malaysia 2026, according to Malaysia Airlines. The national carrier has advised passengers to factor in extra travel time for their journey between October 2 and 4. This advice comes as the event is expected to cause congestion in areas surrounding the airport and on roads leading to Sepang International Circuit.
Despite access to KLIA remaining open, passengers are urged to monitor traffic updates and plan alternative routes if necessary. Malaysia Airlines encourages the use of the KLIA Ekspres train service and advises passengers to arrive at the airport at least three hours before international flights and two hours before domestic flights.
Check-in counters will close 60 minutes before scheduled departures for both types of flights. The airline appreciates passengers' understanding and cooperation during this period.
