Malaysian in West Asia reminded to be vigilant following airspaces reopening

PUTRAJAYA, April 16 — Malaysians in West Asia, namely Iran, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon are reminded to continue to be vigilant and adhere to instructions of the local authorities following the reopening of airspace and resumption of flight operations in these four countries, said the Foreign Ministry (Wisma Putra).

It has anticipated that there may be possible flight delays as operations gradually resume and adjust to the new protocols.

“Malaysian travellers are advised to stay informed about any potential disruptions and plan their journeys accordingly,” Wisma Putra said in a statement today.

The governments of Iran, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon have announced the reopening of their airspaces and the resumption of flight operations in their respective countries.

Earlier media reports said flights in the areas have been suspended since Saturday (April 13) after Iran conducted a massive drone and missile attack on Israel in response to Tel Aviv’s aggression on its consulate in Syria early this month.
