Malaysia Airlines expands France connections through SNCF rail partnership

Malaysia Airlines is enhancing its intermodal network through a new codeshare partnership with France’s national rail operator, SNCF Voyageurs, giving passengers seamless rail connections from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to 28 destinations across France.

Available through SNCF Voyageurs’ Train + Air product, the partnership integrates air and rail travel into a single itinerary, allowing Malaysia Airlines passengers arriving in Paris to continue their journey on France’s high-speed rail network.

Malaysia Airlines now offers seamless rail connections from Paris to 28 destinations across France

Tickets have been available through the airline’s website since July 10, 2026.

The partnership builds on Malaysia Airlines’ MHrail initiative, which integrates air and rail services through key international gateways, including Seoul and London Heathrow, as part of the airline’s broader network and customer experience strategy.

Under the agreement, Malaysia Airlines will place its marketing code on SNCF-operated rail services under AccesRail’s IATA code “9B”. Customers will be able to book rail segments as part of the same itinerary, with coordinated connections and simplified transfers to destinations including Lyon, Strasbourg, Rennes, Lille and Marseille.

Bryan Foong, CEO of airline business, Malaysia Aviation Group, said: “By integrating air and rail under a unified travel experience, we are extending our network reach beyond CDG to 28 destinations across France, enhancing connectivity, while offering customers greater convenience through seamless connections and a single itinerary.”
