MYAirline Sdn Bhd, the newest low-cost airline in Malaysia, will launch its maiden international flight on Wednesday (June 28) to Bangkok, Thailand.
Rayner Teo, the chief executive officer of MYAirline, announced that the company would run flights out of two airports in Bangkok: Suvarnabhumi Airport and Don Mueang International Airport, respectively, starting on June 28 and July 1, respectively.
We are the first Malaysian airline to actually run out of two airports in Bangkok.
At a press conference held today at Terminal 2 of Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) in conjunction with the airline’s achievement of the one-million passenger milestone earlier this month, he stated, “We will be starting with one flight per day and gradually moving to four flights per day.Since its first flight on December 1 of the previous year, MYAirline has provided service from Kuala Lumpur to a number of well-known locations, including Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Kota Bharu, Langkawi, Penang, Sibu, Tawau, and Miri.
Teo said that MYAirline’s eighth aircraft, which would be utilized to fly between Malaysia and Bangkok, acquired the certificate of airworthiness today.
At the moment, MYAirline runs seven aircraft with an average load factor of 91%.In addition to planning to fly to other regions of Thailand, including Phuket, Krabi, and Chiang Mai, MYAirline also intends to travel to Indonesia, primarily to Bali and Jakarta, as well as to Vietnam and Singapore.
Regarding upcoming plans, he stated that MYAirline is aiming to establish its second hub in either Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, or Kuching, Sarawak.
“Like every airline, we are researching operations with many hubs. We already have one hub here (KLIA), and before the year is through, we hope to have a second one. “It makes sense to have one hub in each of the states, whether it be in Sabah or Sarawak,” he said.
The one-million passenger milestone was reached in a little more than six months of operations on nine domestic routes within Malaysia, according to a statement from MYAirline.
Passengers arriving at KLIA Terminal 2 at 3 o’clock today on aircraft Z98104 from Kuching hailed the historic occasion.
Additionally, ten lucky guests earned round-trip airline tickets to popular locations in Malaysia.
Teo stated that while MYAirline develops and serves the MYAirline community, the company is dedicated to provide excellent services and unique experiences.
He noted that the achievement “exemplifies its dedication to being Malaysia’s most dependable airline, as it firmly believes that passengers’ experiences matter.” – Bernama.
