Malaysia’s Firefly extends Seletar-Subang flight cancellations till Oct 13 amid haze
It had earlier cancelled flights between Seletar Airport and Subang from Oct 10 to 12 due to the haze.
Malaysian budget airline Firefly Airlines has extended the cancellation of its flights between Singapore's Seletar Airport and Malaysia's Subang Airport until October 13, 2023, due to the "weather and haze situation affecting Seletar Airport". This follows earlier cancellations from October 10 to 12.
Firefly is a subsidiary of the Malaysia Aviation Group, which also includes Malaysia Airlines. The airline's fleet consists of twin turboprop aircraft. Affected passengers will be reallocated to Malaysia Airlines' services between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Changi Airport, subject to seat availability. Those who prefer not to take the reallocated flights can receive a full refund within 30 working days.
The airline is monitoring the evolving weather situation and will communicate further updates directly to affected customers. On September 4, Singapore's air quality breached unhealthy levels due to smoke haze, with the National Environment Agency issuing daily haze advisories. As of October 9, the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reached a high of 192 during this haze season, with the haze task force distributing N95 masks to eligible Singaporeans when air quality reaches "very unhealthy" levels, denoted by a PSI reading between 201 and 300.
