Firefly has extended cancellations on Seletar-Subang flights until Oct 13 because of haze and poor weather at Seletar Airport.

The airline is rebooking passengers on Malaysia Airlines flights between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Changi Airport, or offering full refunds within 30 working days.

Singapore’s haze has worsened, with PSI reaching 192 on Oct 9 and unhealthy air levels seen for the first time since October 2023, prompting daily haze advisories and mask plans.

SINGAPORE – Malaysian low-cost carrier Firefly Airlines has extended the cancellation of its flights between Singapore’s Seletar Airport and Malaysia’s Subang Airport to a fourth consecutive day, until Oct 13 .

This “proactive safety measure” is due to the “weather and haze situation affecting Seletar Airport”, it said in an update on its website.

The affected flights are:

The extension comes after the airline earlier cancelled flights between Seletar Airport and Malaysia’s Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang from Oct 10 to 12 due to the haze situation .

Firefly is a subsidiary of Malaysia Aviation Group, of which Malaysia Airlines is also part of . Among the planes in Firefly’s fleet includes twin turboprop aircraft , according to its website .

Affected passengers are being reallocated to Malaysia Airlines’ services between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Changi Airport instead, subject to seat availability, Firefly said in the update on its website.

Those who do not want the reallocated flights can get a full refund, which will be processed and credited back to the original payment mode within 30 working days, the carrier added .

“Given the evolving weather situation, Firefly is monitoring developments closely. Further updates on flight schedules will be communicated directly to affected customers,” Firefly said.

In a cancellation notice dated Oct 10 and seen by The Straits Times, the airline said all scheduled outbound flights from Seletar to Subang on Oct 10 were cancelled due to “haze elevation” and “low visibility”.

For the first time since October 2023, a ir quality in Singapore breached unhealthy levels due to smoke haze on Sept 4 , with the National Environment Agency issuing daily haze advisories since the evening of that day.

The Pollutant Standards Index, or PSI, hit a high of 192 this haze season on Oct 9 , with the haze task force announcing on the evening of that day that, among other measures, it will distribute N95 masks to eligible Singaporeans when air quality hits “very unhealthy” levels.

Such levels are denoted by a Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reading between 201 and 300 .

由于实里达机场雾霾和恶劣天气，萤火虫航空已将实里达-梳邦航班的取消期限延长至10月13日。

该航空公司正在为乘坐马来西亚航空吉隆坡国际机场和樟宜机场之间航班的乘客重新安排航班，或在 30 个工作日内提供全额退款。

新加坡的雾霾情况恶化，10 月 9 日 PSI 指数达到 192，这是自 2023 年 10 月以来首次出现不健康空气水平，促使当局发布每日雾霾预警和口罩佩戴计划。

新加坡——马来西亚廉价航空公司飞萤航空已将新加坡实里达机场和马来西亚梳邦机场之间的航班取消期限延长至第四天，直至 10 月 13 日。

该公司在其网站上发布的最新消息称，这项“主动安全措施”是由于“天气和雾霾情况影响了实里达机场”。

受影响的航班有：

此前，由于雾霾情况，该航空公司取消了10月10日至12日期间实里达机场和马来西亚梳邦苏丹阿卜杜勒·阿齐兹·沙阿机场之间的航班。此次延期是在此之后做出的。

萤火虫航空是马来西亚航空集团的子公司，马来西亚航空也是该集团的成员之一。据其官网显示，萤火虫航空的机队包括双涡轮螺旋桨飞机。

飞萤航空在其网站上发布的最新消息称，受影响的乘客将被重新安排乘坐马来西亚航空吉隆坡国际机场和樟宜机场之间的航班，具体安排视座位情况而定。

该航空公司补充说，不想要重新分配航班的乘客可以获得全额退款，退款将在 30 个工作日内处理完毕并退回到原支付方式。

“鉴于天气状况不断变化，萤火虫航空正在密切关注事态发展。有关航班时刻表的进一步更新将直接通知受影响的乘客，”萤火虫航空表示。

《海峡时报》看到的一份日期为 10 月 10 日的取消通知显示，该航空公司表示，由于“雾霾抬升”和“能见度低”，10 月 10 日所有从实里达飞往梳邦的预定出境航班均已取消。

9月4日，新加坡的空气质量因烟雾而首次突破不健康水平，这是自2023年10月以来的首次。从当天晚上开始，国家环境局每天都发布烟雾警报。

10 月 9 日，空气污染标准指数 (PSI) 在本雾霾季达到 192 的高点。当天晚上，雾霾工作组宣布，除其他措施外，当空气质量达到“非常不健康”的水平时，将向符合条件的新加坡人分发 N95 口罩。

这些水平用污染物标准指数 (PSI) 读数在 201 到 300 之间表示。
