SINGAPORE: Thick fog enveloped Senai International Airport in Johor early this morning (20 Nov), disrupting operations and forcing an AirAsia flight to divert to Singapore.

The affected flight, AK5413, was travelling from Kuching, Sarawak, to Johor Bahru.

According to the Oriental Daily, the aircraft, which departed Kuching at 5:46 am, attempted to land twice at Senai but could not do so due to severely reduced visibility.

The flight ultimately rerouted and landed safely at Singapore’s Changi Airport at 7:39 am.
