Malaysia will shut down its air space near Kuala Lumpur International Airport each morning for six consecutive days beginning on Tuesday, August 26, as part of preparations for the nation’s 68th anniversary celebrations.
The restricted air space will remain shut every day between 8 AM and midday during a six-day span so that the Royal Malaysian Air Force can carry out practice sessions for an airborne display scheduled for the country’s National Day celebration on August 31st.
