Following recent cutbacks on poorly-performing routes, effective 25 March 2012, Malaysia's Malaysia Airlines is increasing its weekly frequencies to several better-performing ASEAN destinations as well as to Beijing, Taipei and Los Angeles.
The current twice-daily Kuala Lumpur-Manila return sector operations will be complemented by a 50 per cent frequency increase resulting in 1,120 more seats in each direction with the introduction of another daily B737-800 flight. With this, Malaysia Airlines will have 21 weekly flights between Kuala Lumpur and Manila.
Likewise, the Kuala Lumpur-Phnom Penh return route, now operated with nine weekly frequencies, will have another two weekly flights on Tuesday and Thursday, followed by another three weekly services on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday effective 1 May 2012. This will double the airline’s daily B737 flights between the two cities.
For the Indonesian market, the carrier will add two weekly B737-800 flights to the Kuala Lumpur-Jakarta return route effective 25 March 2012 on Tuesday and Thursday resulting in a total of 42 weekly services between the two capital cities.
Connectivity between Kuala Lumpur-Medan will be doubled with the addition of another weekly B737 service on Friday, making it two flights daily from that date.
The airline will also operate four daily flights between Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok effective 25 March 2012 with the introduction of an additional flight on Sunday between the two cities.
From 25 March, the carrier’s current B777-200 operations to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) will be doubled to twice daily. An additional 1,974 seats will be offered through this 100 per cent increase in weekly frequency between KLIA and Beijing.
Meanwhile, the current three weekly flights MH 94/95 for Kuala Lumpur–Taipei–Los Angeles and return on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday will be revised to operate four times weekly as flights MH 92/93 Kuala Lumpur–Tokyo (Narita)–Los Angeles return on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.
