PETALING JAYA: Volcanic ash observed within the Kota Kinabalu flight information region due to the Mount Ruang volcano eruption in north Sulawesi, Indonesia had affected multiple air routes and airports in the region, says Datuk Capt Norazman Mahmud.

"Airports within the affected area, including Tawau and Lahad Datu, should implement measures to mitigate the impact of volcanic ash on ground operations, such as regular monitoring of runway conditions and implementing appropriate cleaning procedures," he added.He said that the volcanic ash clouds could cause severe damage to aircraft engines and aircraft systems, leading to potential engine failure, reduced visibility, and damage to critical components.

Norazman said air operators are advised to closely monitor meteorological updates, volcanic ash advisories and Notice to Airmen issued by relevant authorities.
