Firefly, a subsidiary of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), announced its expansion of jet operations with the launch of two new direct flights from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang Airport) in Selangor to Kuching and Singapore Changi Airport.
The airline will operate each route six times a week from March 24 before increasing to daily operations from March 30.
The new destinations take Firefly’s operations from its current routes to Penang and Kota Kinabalu to 28 weekly flights, all on its Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
The new jet operations to Singapore will also complement Firefly’s turboprop operations from Subang Airport to Seletar Airport.
Firefly passengers on the new routes will enjoy complimentary 10kg check-in baggage, 7kg carry-on baggage, and in-flight refreshment.
Commenting on the move, Arokia Das Anthony, executive director, The Essence of Asia Tours & Travel said: “Firefly’s jet operations from Changi Airport directly to Subang Airport provides a convenient option for travellers wanting quick access to Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Petaling Jaya and Kuala Lumpur’s city centre, saving time compared to travelling from Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal One and Terminal 2.
“Subang Airport’s proximity to Kuala Lumpur’s city centre makes it easier and faster for travellers from Kuala Lumpur and surrounding areas to access the airport, reducing overall travel time compared to departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). This is especially beneficial for business travellers and frequent flyers seeking a more efficient travel experience.”
He added that Changi Airport’s “extensive retail, dining, and entertainment options enhance the overall travel experience” enhances the travel experience, and its status as a major international hub provides easy connectivity to destinations worldwide.
