Firefly cancels all flights between Seletar and Subang airports amid haze

SINGAPORE - All Firefly flights between Singapore’s Seletar Airport and Malaysia’s Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang from Oct 10 to Oct 12 have been cancelled due to the haze situation, the airline said.

According to Firefly’s media response on Oct 11, the following flights across the three days have been cancelled:

Subang to Seletar:

• FY3122

• FY3124

• FY3126

• FY3132

Seletar to Subang:

• FY3123

Affected passengers are being reallocated to Malaysia Airlines’ services between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Changi Airport instead, subject to seat availability, a Firefly spokesperson said.

Those who choose not to proceed with these reallocated flights are eligible for a full refund, which will be processed and credited back to the original payment within 30 working days, the spokesperson added.

“The cancellations are being implemented as a proactive safety precaution, prioritising operational safety and certainty while minimising potential disruption and inconvenience to passengers,” the spokesperson said.

In a cancellation notice dated Oct 10 seen by The Straits Times, the airline said that all outbound flights from Seletar scheduled to depart for Subang on Oct 10 were cancelled due to “haze elevation” and “low visibility”.

“The safety of our passengers and crew remains our highest priority. Operations Control Centre (OCC) will continue to monitor the weather and haze situation closely,” Firefly said in its reply on Oct 11.

The Straits Times has contacted Changi Airport and Seletar Airport for more information on flight cancellations due to the haze.

The haze condition in Singapore has worsened in the last few days, with the 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) hitting a 2026 high of 186 in the central region on Oct 9.

As at 11am on Oct 11, air quality remains unhealthy across all regions in Singapore. In the northern region, PSI stood at 117 and the 1-hour PM2.5 stood at 64, in the elevated band.
