…. Airspace restrictions affecting several Middle East routes may result in delays, rerouting or cancellations. Passengers travelling to, from or transiting through affected destinations are advised to check directly with their airline before proceeding to the airport.

Travellers connecting via alternative transit points should also verify the status of their entire journey, including onward sectors. For passenger rights information, refer to the Malaysian Aviation Consumer Protection Code under CAAM. Official travel advisories are available from Wisma Putra. Safety remains our highest priority.
