GEORGE TOWN: Almost 20 flights were delayed at the Penang International Airport here due to bad weather conditions.

The airport's senior manager Ramzi Ahmad said there were a total of eight delayed arrivals and 10 delayed departures Friday, comprising both domestic and international flights.

"This was due to bad weather conditions and not caused by the airport facilities," he said.
