KUALA LUMPUR, July 10 — Malaysia Airlines has cancelled its flights between Kuala Lumpur and Taipei scheduled for tomorrow due to adverse weather conditions associated with Typhoon Bavi.
It said the affected flights were MH366 (Kuala Lumpur-Taipei) and MH367 (Taipei-Kuala Lumpur).
“Given the evolving weather situation, the airline is closely monitoring developments. Further updates regarding flight operations will be communicated directly to affected passengers,” Malaysia Airlines said in a travel advisory issued today.
It advised passengers to update their contact details in the ‘My Booking’ section of its website or mobile app to receive timely emails and SMS updates.
“Affected passengers may opt for a refund or rebook their travel on the same route at no additional cost within 30 days from the original travel date through ‘My Booking’, AskMH Live Chat or the airline's Global Contact Centre,” Malaysia Airlines said.
The national carrier reiterated that the safety of its passengers and crew remains its highest priority.
Bavi is forecast to move northwest at 15-20 km per hour and make landfall along the coast from Xiapu in Fujian to Wenling in Zhejiang tomorrow night, with its intensity weakening after landfall.
From today to tomorrow afternoon, gales are expected in waters east of Taiwan, most of the East China Sea, and waters near Diaoyu Dao, as well as along the coasts of Taiwan, Zhejiang, and Fujian.
