THE Sultan Abdul Halim Airport (LTSAH) runway which was temporarily closed following an incident involving a Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) aircraft earlier this evening, was reopened at 8pm.
LTSAH manager Ikram Alif Mansoor said the runway, which was closed at 5.30 pm, was reopened after the aircraft was removed, cleaning and inspection works completed.
“All cleaning works have been completed. Four flights involving arrivals and departures that were disrupted by the incident have been rescheduled.
“We are rearranging the schedule for all affected flights, including those involving Haj pilgrims which we aim to resolve everything by tonight,” he told Bernama when met at LTSAH today.
Earlier, Malaysia Airports confirmed the temporary closure in a statement after the RMAF aircraft incident at 5 pm today, allowing for aircraft removal and runway cleaning operations. – May 6, 2025
