Riau haze clears up

PEKANBARU, Riau: Activities at Pekanbaru's Sultan Syarif Kasim international airport returned to normal on Friday, following several flight delays a day earlier due to haze.

"Haze blanketed the airport in the morning but lifted later today (Friday)," said Sutrisno, the head of airport management company PT Angkasa Pura II at Sultan Syarif Kasim Airport.

Visibility was normal on Friday, between 1,500 and 2,000 meters, allowing airplanes to take off and land. -- JP
