Mount Ruang News

East Malaysia

The recent volcanic eruptions from Indonesia’s Mount Ruang has led to several Malaysian airlines cancelling routes involving the region. Due to the ongoing

nature of the eruptions, it is unclear when the impacted flights will be able to proceed normally again.

Malaysia Airlines has announced on social media that it is cancelling several flights to and from Sabah and Sarawak on 18 April 2024. The airline added that flight cancellations will be directly communicated to affected customers and that it is working on accommodating said passengers on alternative flights once the situation improves.

The budget carrier is offering impacted customers to options in light of this situation, which is to either opt for a new travel date on the same route within 30 days with no additional cost or receive a refund in the form of credit that can be redeemed within two years.
