  "account": "KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines Bhd will reschedule its selected flights departing from Terminal 1 at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) following a temporary closure of airspace to mark Malaysia's 69th Independence Day. The national carrier has informed passengers that departure and landing times at KLIA will be halted for a specific period during the airport's closure for the National Day celebrations in 2026. Passengers will be notified through the channels listed to them and encouraged to check the latest flight status on Malaysia Airlines' website or app before reaching the airport. As the school holidays approach and the peak travel period from August 26 to September 6 looms, passengers departing from Terminal 1 KLIA are advised to arrive at least four hours prior to their scheduled departure time to ensure sufficient time for airport procedures. Malaysia Airlines stated that the temporary airspace closure is planned from 11 a.m. to noon on August 26 to August 28, and from 8:45 a.m. to 9:45 a.m. on August 29 and 31, to accommodate training exercises, full-scale exercises, and the National Day salute. The airline also reminded passengers that check-in counters will be closed 60 minutes before departure time for both domestic and international flights, while departure gates will close 30 minutes before the aircraft's scheduled departure. Passengers are advised to be prepared for longer waiting times at main screening areas, including check-in counters, immigration, and safety departure, which may exceed 45 minutes due to the anticipated high volume of travelers. It is recommended that passengers ensure they have all the required travel documents and confirm their entry and exit through official channels before embarking on their journey.",
