Firefly increases flights to Penang and Kota Bharu

Firefly airlines, one of Malaysia’s leading short-haul premium airlines, today announced additional services from Subang to/from Penang and Kota Bharu.

Firefly will be increasing its service from Subang to/from Kota Bharu by additional 11 x weekly whereas for Subang to/from Penang by additional 2 x weekly. These additional services will be available from 19 Aug 2013 to 25 Oct 2014, allowing Firefly to build upon its strong performance on these two key routes.

“Penang has always been important to us as it is our very first hub and our birthplace where it all started. Kota Bharu on the other hand is considered one of our hot seat states. We are increasing our services to these two routes mainly to provide our business customers the ease of travelling without having to wait too long for the next flight out. We intend to provide tourists and more importantly businessmen the convenience they need. The main point is to change consumers’ negative perception of air travel where long lead time is normally required when using an airport and an airline.”, Firefly’s Chief Executive Officer, Ignatius Ong said in statement today.

The additional flights are available for sale now in Firefly’s website and customers are urged to buy their tickets quickly as seats are being taken up at a swift pace. Customers who has time to plan their holiday trip at least 1 month ahead are also encouraged to take advantage of our Everyday Low Fare of RM49 for these flights where a large portion of seats are made available for this fare. “Firefly is the only airline operator out of Subang that provides high frequencies of 12 daily flights to Penang and 10 daily flights to Kota Bharu”, Ong added.

What’s more, Firefly offers all passengers the convenience of complimentary 20kg checked baggage allowance and in-flight refreshment, 30 minute check-in buffer, web and self-check-in facilities, as well as the opportunity to accrue and redeem Enrich points– all essential conveniences for busy individuals travelling during peak periods.
