JAKARTA - Air quality in Riau's capital of Pekanbaru worsened to a four-year low on Sunday after the haze intensified as a result of raging fires in the province, but especially in neighbouring Jambi and South Sumatra provinces.
A number of morning flights to Pekanbaru's Sultan Syarif Kasim II international airport were diverted or cancelled, Mr Yohanes Harry Douglas, spokesman for government air-traffic control agency Airnav, told The Straits Times. One of the conflagrations being fought last Friday in the heart of Pekanbaru was in an area measuring some 15ha - roughly the size of 10 football fields - in Bukit Raya, near the airport.
Meanwhile, several flights between Ipoh in Malaysia and Singapore were cancelled on Sunday morning because of poor visibility, Bernama news agency reported.Airport manager Mohd Ali Osman said they included flight by AirAsia flying between Ipoh, Johor Baru and Singapore.
