The runway of Sultan Abdul Halim Airport in Kedah has been temporarily closed after an incident involving an air force aircraft at around 11.30am.
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd said the runway was closed to help with the removal of the aircraft and for “clearing works”.
“A notice to airmen has been issued by the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia, and the closure is expected to remain in effect until 4pm today.
“Passengers are advised to check with their respective airlines for the latest flight updates,” it said in a Facebook post.
It is not immediately clear what had occurred.
In May, the Alor Setar airport’s runway was also forced to close after an air force fighter jet skidded on its nose while landing. The pilot did not suffer any injuries in the incident.
