If you are due to fly between Kuala Lumpur and Taipei today, there is something you need to know. Malaysia Airlines has cancelled its Taipei flights on 23 October 2026 because of Typhoon Champi, which is bringing severe weather across the region. Here is exactly what it means and what you can do.
What's happened
Because of the adverse weather associated with Typhoon Champi, Malaysia Airlines is cancelling its flights between Kuala Lumpur and Taipei on 23 October 2026. The airline says it is monitoring the situation closely and will publish further updates as the weather develops. Safety comes first — a cancellation like this is the airline choosing not to fly into dangerous conditions, which is exactly what you would want it to do.
Which flights are affected
Two flights are cancelled on 23 October: MH366 from Kuala Lumpur to Taipei, and MH367 from Taipei to Kuala Lumpur. If you hold a seat on either, you are covered by the airline's arrangements below.
Your options: rebook or refund
Affected passengers can either rebook on the same route at no extra cost within 30 days of the original flight date, or request a full refund. Malaysia Airlines handles this through My Booking on its website or app, the AskMH live chat, or its Global Contact Centre. Because weather can keep changing, if your plans are flexible it is worth deciding early, while seats on the next available flights are still open.
Keep your contact details current
One practical step: make sure your contact details are up to date in My Booking, so any further updates on timings reach you by email and SMS. In a fast-moving weather situation, that is how you hear first.
