KUALA LUMPUR, May 6 — Local carriers Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air have temporarily suspended their services between Kuala Lumpur and Amritsar in India and Lahore in Pakistan, amid recent military skirmishes between the two sides.
Two of Malaysia Airlines’ long-haul flights have since been re-routed — flights MH2 to London Heathrow and MH22 to Paris Charles de Gaulle were diverted yesterday for a refuelling stop in Doha, Qatar, before continuing to their destinations.
“We will continue to take all necessary measures to ensure safe and reliable operations,” the airline said in a statement.
The move came following the closure of Amritsar Airport from May 7 to 9, citing concerns regarding regional security.
Earlier, Batik Air announced the cancellation of its flights to the two destinations for today and tomorrow, following the ongoing situation between both countries.
