Sarawak flights return to normal after May 1 cancellations from Mount Ruang eruptions

KUCHING – All flight operations in Sarawak returned to their normal schedules yesterday, according to state Transport Minister Datuk Seri Lee Kim Shin.

He said the quick resumption of services reflected the efficiency and cooperation between airlines and relevant authorities in managing such situations.

A total of 24 flights to and from Sarawak involving Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, and Batik Air were cancelled on May 1 due to volcanic activity in Indonesia.

“The cancellation impacted numerous locations including Kuching, Miri, Sibu, and Bintulu. This decision, affecting 3,451 passengers, was a precautionary measure in response to the recent volcanic activity of Mount Ruang in Indonesia.

“Mount Ruang’s eruption posed potential risks to air travel, prompting airlines’ responsible actions in prioritising passenger safety.

“As minister for transport, I fully support and commend their proactive approach in ensuring the wellbeing of travellers,” he said in a statement.

Lee said the ministry will remain vigilant and work closely with key stakeholders including the Meteorological Department, Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM), Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB), and airlines.

The collective effort aims to continuously monitor the situation to guarantee the safety and security of all passengers, he said.

Affected passengers are encouraged to reach out to their respective airlines or visit official websites for the latest updates and guidance.

“We extend our gratitude to the public for their understanding and cooperation during this time.” – May 3, 2024
