It said airspace restrictions in certain parts of the region may result in delays, rerouting or cancellations based on airline safety assessments. Passengers intending to travel to affected destinations in the Middle East should note that disruptions are not limited to direct services from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). “Even if travelling via alternative transit points outside the region, onward services into affected destinations may be suspended or restricted. Travellers are therefore advised to verify the status of their entire journey, including connecting sectors, before making travel arrangements,” MAHB said. MAHB encouraged passengers to update their airlines with their contact details and to monitor official airline and airport channels for timely updates.
