Firefly described the extension of flight suspensions between Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport and Singapore's Seletar Airport as a 'proactive safety measure'.KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian low-cost carrier Firefly extended cancellations of flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore until Wednesday, the airline said, as haze from fires in neighbouring Indonesia chokes air quality in the region.
Singapore ranked among the world's top two most polluted major cities early Tuesday, according to Swiss-based air quality monitor IQAir, as the fires on Borneo and Sumatra islands - intensified by a turbo-charged El Nino weather phenomenon - belch out toxic haze.
The fires have created suffocating local haze, sparking tens of thousands of respiratory illness cases.
