Malaysia Aviation Group has announced that its airlines, including Malaysia Airlines, Firefly, and MASwings, will allocate more than 18,000 additional seats to accommodate the expected surge in domestic travel during the upcoming Hari Raya peak period from April 18 to May 1, 2023.
The group’s airlines had already launched 20,000 seats on March 29, 2023, almost all of which are already sold out, and will supply an additional 18,000 seats to provide more options for travellers.
Malaysia Airlines will upgrade its services using the Airbus A330 to Kota Kinabalu on April 20 and 30, as well as May 1, while also adding 54 extra flights to popular destinations such as Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Tawau, Sandakan, Kota Bahru, Alor Setar, Terengganu, Kuantan, Labuan, Bintulu, Sibu, and Miri to ensure convenience for passengers.
According to the Malaysia Aviation Group chief executive officer (airlines), Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi, “We are currently seeing positive demands during this period and encourage passengers to plan their travels ahead of time to enjoy the best deals on airfares. As of February 2023, our capacity reached 85% of 2019, and we are expecting a positive increase, especially with the upcoming festive season and school holidays.”
Malaysia Airlines’ sister airline, Firefly, has also increased its flight frequency to Kota Bharu and Kota Kinabalu to support the travel demand.
The group’s additional seat allocation will help reduce fares, making it more affordable for passengers to travel back to their hometowns and celebrate the Hari Raya festival with their loved ones.
