Nok Air cancels flights to Mae Hong Son because of poor visibility

Nok Air low-cost Airline canceled two of its flights from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son after the visibility dropped to 500 metres because of smog, the Mae Hon Son airport caretaker director said Monday.

Thanisara Singhakul said Nok Air cancelled its DD8202 and DD8203 flights from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son Monday.
She said the Karn Air from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son was also delayed by many hours while the pilot waited for better visibility.
Thanisara said the airport sprayed water into the air around the airport to try to increase humidity with pone that it would increase visibility.
