The airport had previously been closed since 7am today by the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) and airport authorities due to the thick haze, said KIA’s senior manager, Mohd Nadzim Hashim.

Based on today’s schedule, the airport will be catering for 124 flight arrivals and departures.
However, Malaysia Airport Holdings Berhad (MAHB), through its Twitter account, advised passengers travelling from KIA to contact their respective airlines for the latest flight information.
