Firefly has extended Subang-Seletar flight cancellations until Oct 14 because of haze, with multiple FY flights cancelled and passengers offered rebooking or full refunds.

CAAS and Changi Airport Group said Changi and Seletar airports stay open, but 16 Seletar flights were diverted from Oct 5 to Oct 11 because of low visibility.

Singapore’s haze remains a concern, with PSI up to 192. Authorities may add safety steps and are protecting passengers, crew and airport workers with more checks and N95 masks.

SINGAPORE – Malaysia’s Firefly has again extended its cancellation of flights on the Subang-Seletar route, this time till Oct 14.

The airline had earlier cancelled flights between the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang and Singapore’s Seletar Airport from Oct 10 to 12 due to the haze situation, and then extended the cancellation till Oct 13.

Separately, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Changi Airport Group (CAG) said in a joint media reply on Oct 13 that both airports in Changi and Seletar remain operational, and that 16 flights from Seletar were diverted from Oct 5 to Oct 11 as a precaution due to low visibility.

“Some airlines have also chosen to adjust or cancel flights based on prevailing conditions,” CAAS and CAG said in the joint statement.

This comes as Singapore is blanketed by smoke haze from forest fires in the region, with the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) reading going as high as 192, close to the “very unhealthy” range of 201 to 300.

In a notice on its website, Firefly said the following flights were cancelled:

FY3122 (Oct 13 and Oct 14)

FY3124 (Oct 13 and Oct 14)

FY3126 (Oct 13 and Oct 14)

FY3132 (Oct 13 and Oct 14)

FY3123 (Oct 13 and Oct 14)

FY3125 (Oct 13 and Oct 14)

FY3127 (Oct 13 and Oct 14)

Firefly stated on its website that affected passengers will be reallocated to Malaysia Airlines flights from Kuala Lumpur to Singapore where possible.

Those who do not want the replacement flights can get a full refund, according to the website.

CAAS and CAG said they will implement additional measures if the haze situation worsens, including switching on airfield lights during daytime for improved visibility and increase the timings between aircraft landings and take-offs.

They added that aviation companies and unions are taking steps to protect its outdoor workers, such as reviewing non-essential outdoor activities and ensuring that there are enough N95 masks for airport employees.

CAAS and CAG said that they are “closely monitoring the PSI levels and taking the necessary measures to protect” passengers and crew.

The 24-hour PSI first breached “unhealthy” levels in 2026 due to smoke haze from Sumatra and Kalimantan on Sept 4, said the National Environment Agency (NEA).

PSI levels then spiked its highest in 2026 on Oct 9 when it reached 192 in the central region between 5pm and 8pm.

The haze task force then announced on the same day that N95 masks will be distributed to vulnerable groups here when air quality hits “very unhealthy” levels.
