Firefly resumes Singapore service, studies Malacca route
After a 4-month suspension because of a dispute between Malaysia and Singapore, Malaysia LCC Firefly has resumed scheduled service between the two countries, with the first flight landing at Singapore Seletar April 21. This also marked the first scheduled operation of Seletar’s new terminal since its opening in November. Firefly has restarted with twice-daily ATR 72-500 flights between Kuala Lumpur-Subang and Seletar through April 28. From April 29, frequency will increase to 6X daily. Malaysia and Singapore were embroiled in an airspace dispute when Malaysia opposed Seletar’s ILS procedures, which were set up by Singapore to facilitate Firefly’s move from Changi to Seletar. The two ministries later agreed to establish a ‘”GPS-based ILS” procedure as a compromise. <br/>
