MALAYSIA Airlines (MAS) will be bringing back a daily Dubai service beginning August 5.
The Kuala Lumpur-Dubai return service will offer 282 seats per flight or 3,948 seats weekly, using the Boeing 777-200 aircraft.
Beginning August 5, Dubai-bound flights will depart Kuala Lumpur daily at 23.30 to arrive in Dubai at 02.20 the next day. The return flight will depart Dubai at 04.10 to arrive in Kuala Lumpur at 15.25.
MAS suspended the route in January 2012 as a result of its rationalisation exercise (TTG Asia e-Daily, December 16, 2011), according to its CEO, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya.
The reintroduction of the Dubai service follows Emirates’ recent increase of frequencies for the same route in April this year, from 26 to 28 weekly flights (TTG Asia e-Daily, April 3, 2013).
MAS is offering promotional fares starting from RM1,999 (US$628) and RM5,999 for all-inclusive economy- and business-class return travel, respectively. Bookings end July 15 for the travel period August 5, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
