Firefly increases flights to Kuala Lumpur

Firefly will increase the number of flights on the Kuala Lumpur Kuching Kuala Lumpur route from June 1. The airline recently accepted the delivery of its fourth B737-800 aircraft which will be used to increase frequency on this route from four to seven times daily. Dato’ Eddy Leong, MD, Firefly said,We decided to utilise the new aircraft on this route due to good demand. Since we started operating this route on January 15, the weekly load factor has averaged 75 per cent. It makes good business sense to add capacity. The three additional daily return flights out of Kuala Lumpur to Kuching from June 1 will also provide travellers with more departure choices.Passengers flying on Firefly will enjoy savings of up to 20% with our seamless holistic approach. With our jet services, we offer aerobridge facilities at all airports we fly to, including on this Kuala Lumpur Kuching Kuala Lumpur route, Leong added.
