Firefly to restore full Subang-Seletar service as haze clears

The low-cost carrier suspended services on the route beginning October 10 due to poor air quality affecting flight operations in the region. The airline initially implemented a reduced schedule as it assessed conditions and visibility levels at both airports.

Firefly's decision to restore full operations comes as atmospheric conditions show signs of improvement across the Malaysia-Singapore corridor. The airline will resume its standard frequency of flights on the Subang-Seletar route, which serves business and leisure travellers connecting the two major regional hubs.

The suspension affected a key regional air link between the two countries. Passengers whose flights were cancelled during the disruption period were offered rebooking options or refunds in accordance with the airline's policy.

Airports and airlines across Southeast Asia have faced repeated service disruptions this year due to seasonal haze, which frequently impacts visibility and flight safety during certain months. Firefly's resumption of full services reflects typical operational responses to transboundary air quality events in the region.
