Haze: Flights not affected
Flights are expected to continue as usual at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), as the near-annual haze season gets worse in parts of Malaysia.
Malaysia Airports senior general manager (operation services) Datuk Azmi Murad said flight frequencies have so far not been affected by the pollution, which has been blamed on plantation companies in Sumatra practising slash and burn methods to clear farming land.
“So far there have not been any disruptions, but we are working with the airlines to monitor the situation,” he said after presenting awards to frontliners and concessionaires operating out of KLIA's main and low cost carrier terminals.
On Wednesday morning, the Department of Environment (DoE) revealed that the haze situation in several areas in the country had become acute.
The worst readings were taken in Muar, Johor, which registered an air pollution index (API) reading of 337 - rated as dangerous by the department
