Haze over Senai airport, Johor on Friday.

KULAI: Twenty-one domestic and international flights from the Senai International Airport here were cancelled due to the haze on Friday.

The airport's chief operations officer Noor Safura Suib said that the flights were cancelled because of poor visibility.

"The visibility distance recorded between 50m and 300m from 6.30am to 8.30am resulted in some flights being cancelled," she told The Star when met here.

She added that only five flights were given the green light to depart later in the afternoon when the visibility showed improvement.

"It is still uncertain as to how long the situation will continue but passengers have been provided assistance including coaches to send them to nearby hotels," she added.
