Extended cancellations and passenger options
According to The Edge Malaysia, the cancellation extension was made due to current weather conditions and persistent haze on the route between Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang and Seletar Airport in Singapore.The Malaysia Airlines wholly owned airline had previously cancelled all scheduled flights on the route from 10 to 12 Oct as a safety precaution. The extended cancellations involve six daily services: FY3122 and FY3123, FY3124 and FY3125, FY3126 and FY3127, FY3128 and FY3129, FY3130 and FY3131, as well as FY3132 and FY3133.
Affected passengers are being contacted and rebooked onto available Malaysia Airlines flights via the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore route, subject to seat availability. Passengers who choose not to proceed with the replacement flight are eligible for a full refund, credited back to the original payment method within 30 working days.
Singapore's air quality remains unhealthy
The haze impact comes as Singapore's air quality remained at unhealthy levels on Monday. According to the National Environment Agency, the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index reading was in the range of 118 to 155 as of 7 pm.The highest reading was recorded in the central and western regions at 155, followed by the east at 139, the south at 122 and the north at 118. These conditions add operational pressure on airlines serving short-haul regional routes and maintain the risk of further disruptions if weather conditions and haze do not improve.
In our previous report on transboundary haze continuing to blanket Southeast Asia due to forest and peatland fires in Indonesia, we explained how the conditions closed schools, disrupted flights and worsened air quality in Singapore. We also highlighted gaps in cross-border accountability and enforcement, as well as proposals to use financial market pressure—such as requirements for concession maps and supplier chains—to curb haze sources more effectively.
