Cire 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2014 Not only the related road traffics are to be closed, but also some of the airport operations will need to be temporarily closed off for security matters. Departing aircrafts would need to be on hold and arrivals will need to circle farther away until AF1 have landed/take-off. I wondered who would escort AF1 into Malaysia?
