Sabah, Sarawak Flights Resume After Volcano Disruption

Apr 19, 2024

Airlines have started resuming some of their flights between KL and Sabah and Sarawak…which were cancelled earlier yesterday due to the Mount Ruang volcanic eruption in Indonesia.

The Civil Aviation Authority says operations started from around 7pm.

Passengers, however, are advised to check with their respective airlines about their latest flight status.

This, after Met Malaysia earlier said that the ash cloud from the volcano has so far not affected the air pollutant index reading for Sabah and Sarawak.
