3,000 stranded in Langkawi

Shades of grey: The sea view outside Kuah Jetty almost completely covered by haze.

LANGKAWI: Close to 3,000 people, mostly tourists, were stranded here as the haze grounded almost all flights to and from Langkawi International Airport for the past two days.

Yesterday morning, passengers of certain airlines were told the next available flights would be late this afternoon, and even then, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t be cancelled.
