Sultan Abdul Halim Airport runway still closed due to severe flooding

ALOR STAR: The Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (AOR) runway in Alor Star remains closed due to flooding, though the terminal is still operational.

In a statement, Malaysia Airports confirmed that passengers should contact their airlines for the latest flight schedule updates.

"Passengers are advised to stay safe and monitor announcements for further developments," it said on its official Facebook page today.

Kedah is one of the worst-hit states by the ongoing floods affecting nine states nationwide. As of today, more than 8,000 people have been displaced by torrential rains.

On Friday, at least four outbound flights from AOR were canceled following the runway closure. Malaysia Airports had earlier issued a travel advisory after the Civil Aviation Authority issued a notice (Notam) regarding the temporary runway closure.
