MAG adds seats for Hari Raya Travels

KUALA LUMPUR, 11 April 2023: Malaysia Aviation Group’s airlines will allocate over 18,000 additional seats during the upcoming Hari Raya peak travel period to accommodate the expected domestic travel surge from 18 April to 1 May 2023.

The group’s airlines – Malaysia Airlines, Firefly, and MASwings – will collectively supply 18,000 seats on top of the 20,000 seats launched on 29 March 2023 that are almost entirely sold out.

Malaysia Airlines will upgrade services using the Airbus A330 to Kota Kinabalu on 20 and 30 April, as well as 1 May, and adding another 54 extra flights to Kuching, Kota Kinabalu, Tawau, Sandakan, Kota Bahru, Alor Setar, Terengganu, Kuantan, Labuan, Bintulu, Sibu and Miri to ensure convenience for passengers.

With the additional seats, the fares will be dynamically adjusted downwards, making it affordable for passengers to travel back to their hometown for the Hari Raya celebrations.

Malaysia Airlines’ sister airline, Firefly, has also increased its flight frequency to Kota Bharu and Kota Kinabalu to support the travel demand.

Malaysia Aviation Group chief executive officer (airlines) Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi said: “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.”
