Travellers flying in and out of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) from August 26 – 31 may have to rethink their travel schedules.
As part of preparations for Malaysia’s Merdeka National Day celebrations, the airspace around KLIA will be closed from 8am to 12pm between August 26 and August 31, 2025.
As a result, flights departing and arriving on those dates will be retimed, including flights outside of the 8am – 12pm timeslot.
For example, MH2522 will be departing for Kuching International Airport on the 29 August at the new time of 7:55am instead of 7:30pm.
To avoid any complications, travellers are advised to arrive four hours before their departure and keep an eye on announcements at KLIA and through social media.
The full list of affected flights and their new times can be found at Malaysia Airline’s official website.
