Malaysian airline Firefly struggles to fill seats on flights to Seletar
Firefly, which resumed operations to Singapore April 21 after services were suspended in December over a bilateral air disagreement, is struggling to fill seats. The airline which has moved from Changi to the new Seletar Airport now operates 6 flights a day between Subang (near Kuala Lumpur) and Singapore, filling up only about 40% of all its seats. Before the suspension, an average of 65-70% of seats were filled, said Firefly's CE Philip See. He said the airline is now focused on winning back customers lost during the suspension. Firefly is also working with Changi Airport Group, travel agents and other industry partners to raise awareness of the new Seletar Airport passenger terminal which opened in October. "Some still think it's an old military airport," See said. <br/>
