According to BERNAMA News Agency, passengers are advised to check with their respective airlines for the latest flight updates, as posted by the airport operator on Facebook today. Operations at the airport had been temporarily suspended due to a runway-related safety issue, which led to inspections and assessments by the relevant aviation authorities before clearance was granted for reopening.
