Budget airline Firefly to resume flights from Penang

Malaysia's Firefly is set to jet off again from its Penang hub beginning April 11 and has launched sales of tickets to Johor Baru, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. Customers can now grab fares from as low as RM69 one-way to these new routes. The airline will start with twice daily return flights from Penang to Johor Baru and one daily return flight from Penang to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu. This will be ramped up to three times daily return flights from Penang to Johor Baru and twice daily return flights from Penang to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu from April 25. Firefly CEO Philip See said they were excited to continue the jet services with a value service concept that entailed product unbundling for extra convenience and perks. “Guests will also have the opportunity to accrue and redeem Enrich points. As part of the Malaysia Aviation Group and code sharing with sister companies Malaysia Airlines and MASwings, Firefly will provide seamless travel experiences for passengers,” he said, adding that it has been a challenging past two years for the travel industry. “We hope these new services will accelerate economic recovery and boost domestic tourism in 2022.”<br/>
