KUALA LUMPUR: Firefly Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), is starting its jet operations at Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang, with tickets being sold from today on for routes to Penang and Kota Kinabalu.
The carrier said the promotional fares between Subang to Penang and Kota Kinabalu are set at RM129 and RM249 all-in one-way respectively, for travel between Aug 29, 2024 and Aug 6, 2025.
The fares include 10kg of checked baggage, 7kg of carry-on baggage and complimentary refreshments onboard.
The new jet operations will provide daily return flights to Penang and Kota Kinabalu using Firefly's retrofitted Boeing 737-800 aircraft.
These aircraft feature 189 economy class seats with ergonomic plush leather designs, personal device holders, and USB Type A and C power outlets for device charging.
Additionally, the jet service will enhance the existing nine daily flights to Penang operated by the ATR72, increasing the total number of daily flights between Penang and Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport to 10.
MAG group managing director Datuk Captain Izham Ismail said Firefly's launch of jet operations from Subang marks a strategic expansion of its network, augmenting the current ATR72 turboprop services and guaranteeing continuous connectivity.
"We want to reassure passengers that our current ATR72 schedules will remain unaffected.
"This initiative highlights MAG'S commitment to expanding travel options and strengthening connectivity across our network," he said.
