KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 30 — Malaysia Airlines has advised passengers travelling from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) between October 30 and November 1 to allow extra time to reach the airport due to expected traffic congestion during the Petronas Grand Prix of Malaysia 2026.
In a statement posted on social media today, the airline said heavy traffic and road delays were expected in surrounding areas and on highways leading to KLIA during the MotoGP event, which is being held at the Petronas Sepang International Circuit.
Although access to KLIA would remain fully open, passengers were advised to monitor real-time traffic updates from the police, plan alternative routes where necessary and consider using the KLIA Ekspres train service to arrive on time.
Passengers travelling on international flights are advised to arrive at the airport at least three hours before departure, while those on domestic flights should arrive at least two hours beforehand.
Check-in counters for both domestic and international flights close 60 minutes before the scheduled departure time.
Malaysia Airlines said it appreciated passengers’ understanding and cooperation during the peak travel period.
