Malaysia’s Firefly cancels flights to Singapore over haze from Indonesia

Firefly, a Malaysian low-cost airline, has extended the suspension of flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore until Wednesday due to haze from Indonesian fires. The fires, mainly on Sumatra and Borneo, are the most intense in 11 years, driven by El Nino. Reduced visibility prompted Firefly to take a proactive safety measure by canceling flights. Air quality in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur is rated as hazardous, leading Singapore to reintroduce subsidized care for haze-related illnesses.
