KUALA LUMPUR, 5 January 2023: Malaysia Airlines and Firefly are the early birds with special one-way economy fares capped at MYR599* for flights departing Kuala Lumpur (MH flights) and Penang (Firefly) to Sabah and Sarawak for all festive holidays scheduled in 2024.
The fares kicked in on 1 January 2024 following the country’s Ministry of Transport’s recommendation that low fares should be offered during holidays to boost domestic tourism.
The capped fares are applicable from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) for travel to Kota Kinabalu (BKI), Tawau (TWU), Sandakan (SDK), Labuan (LBU), Kuching (KCH), Miri (MYY), Sibu (SBW), and Bintulu (BTU) via Malaysia Airlines, and between Penang (PEN) to BKI and KCH via Firefly.
Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) airlines chief commercial officer Dersenish Aresandiran said: “We appreciate the government’s support in subsidising fares to ensure travellers can reunite with their loved ones. In line with this commitment, we will strive to provide a superior travel experience tailored to meet the needs and preferences of our passengers on their journey back home.”
