Firefly extends Subang–Seletar flight cancellations through October 14 amid haze

Firefly has extended cancellations of its flights between Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, Malaysia, and Seletar Airport in Singapore through October 14, 2026, amid haze and weather conditions. The extension affects six daily flight pairs and leaves passengers needing alternative travel or a refund, according to an airline statement reported by Bernama.

The latest decision follows a suspension that covered October 10 to 12. Firefly described the extension as a precautionary safety measure, Bernama reported. The notice establishes cancellations through October 14; it does not say when the Subang–Seletar service will resume.

Which Firefly flights are cancelled?

Bernama identified the affected daily flight pairs as FY3122/FY3123, FY3124/FY3125, FY3126/FY3127, FY3128/FY3129, FY3130/FY3131 and FY3132/FY3133. All are part of the suspended schedule between Subang and Seletar. The extension adds October 13 and 14 to the earlier October 10–12 cancellation period.

The route links Subang with Singapore’s Seletar Airport. Firefly is a wholly owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, Bernama reported. Its proposed replacement travel uses Malaysia Airlines flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore, so affected passengers should check the itinerary offered to them rather than assume it uses the same airports as their original booking.

What options do affected passengers have?

Passengers who decline the alternative arrangement are eligible for a full refund to their original payment method within 30 working days, the airline statement said, as reported by Bernama. That is the stated refund period, not a confirmation that any particular passenger has received payment.

For the earlier October 10–12 suspension, The Straits Times independently reported the same broad choices: rebooking on Malaysia Airlines flights via Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Changi Airport, subject to available seats, or a full refund within 30 working days. Bernama’s later report is the source for the options offered during the extension.

Why the Subang–Seletar route remains suspended

The Straits Times reported on October 11 that Firefly had cited haze, including ‘haze elevation’ and ‘low visibility’, in its notice about the original suspension. In its response to the newspaper, the airline called those cancellations a ‘proactive safety precaution’ and said its Operations Control Centre would continue to monitor weather and haze.

The extension reported by Bernama again attributes the cancellations to weather and haze conditions. Neither report establishes a date on which conditions will allow flights to restart. October 14 is the last date covered by the announced suspension, rather than a confirmed resumption date.

What the dated Singapore haze readings show

As of 7pm on Monday, October 12, Singapore’s 24-hour Pollutant Standards Index, or PSI, ranged from 118 to 155, according to National Environment Agency figures reported by Bernama. The reading was 155 in the central and western areas, 139 in the east, 122 in the south and 118 in the north.

Those figures describe conditions at a specified time on October 12, not the air quality throughout the October 13–14 extension. They also do not measure visibility at either airport. The airline’s stated reason for suspending flights includes both haze and weather conditions; the dated PSI figures provide regional context, not a flight-by-flight explanation.

Earlier in the episode, Singapore’s central region reached a 24-hour PSI of 192 on October 9, The Straits Times reported. The newspaper described that as the highest reading of 2026 at the time of its October 11 report. It is an earlier reading and should not be confused with the lower range reported for October 12.

For affected travellers, the confirmed position is a suspension through October 14, with alternative Malaysia Airlines seats offered when available and a refund option for those declining that arrangement. Firefly has not established a restart date in the reported extension, making its next service update the outstanding practical question for passengers.
