According to Malaysian news agency Bernama, Malaysia’s brand new Low-Cost Carrier (LCC), MYAirline Sdn Bhd, is set to launch its first three flight routes in December 2022, starting with scheduled flights from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) to Kuching, Kota Kinabalu and Langkawi on 1 December 2022.
According to schedules, MYAirline revealed that the direct flights to all three destinations start from 1 December 2022, with twice daily flights to Kota Kinabalu and Langkawi and once daily flight to Kuching.
Furthermore, MYAirline's flights to Kuching and Kota Kinabalu will be increased to three times a day starting 23 December 2022.
According to flight schedules, MYAirline touches down in its first destination Kuching on 1 December 2022 with flight Z98101 departing from KLIA2 for Kuching at 7.10 am, arriving in Kuching at 9.05 am before leaving Kuching at estimated time 9.30 am and landing in KLIA2 at 11.20 am. The flight to KLIA2 from Kuching is subject to change due to the extremely short turnaround time and the inaugural destination may not be Kuching due to the short time difference with its second destination Kota Kinabalu.
MYAirline flies daily to Kuching from 1 to 22 December 2022.
The twice-daily flights to Kota Kinabalu are marked by the flight pairs Z98801/Z98802 and Z98805/Z98806.
On 1 December 2022, flight Z98801 takes off from KLIA2 for Kota Kinabalu at 7.20 am, arrives in Kota Kinabalu at 10.05 am before leaving Kota Kinabalu at 10.30 am and touching down in KLIA2 at 1.05 pm under flight Z98802.
Flight Z98805 leaves KLIA2 for Kota Kinabalu at 6.05 pm, arrives in Kota Kinabalu at 8.50 pm before taking off from Kota Kinabalu at 9.15 pm and arriving in KLIA2 at 11.50 pm under flight Z98806.
The twice-daily flights to Langkawi are identified by the flight pairs Z97701/Z97702 and Z97703/Z97704.
The first MYAirline flight to Langkawi, Z97701, takes off from KLIA2 at 1.30 pm, touches down in KLIA2 at 2.35 pm before leaving Langkawi for KLIA2 at 3 pm and arriving in KLIA2 at 4.15 pm under flight Z97702.
The second MYAirline flight to Langkawi, Z97703, leaves KLIA2 at 2.55 pm, lands in Langkawi at 4 pm before departing from Langkawit for KLIA2 at 4.25 pm and touching down in KLIA2 at 5.40 pm under flight Z97704.
Again, the flight timings from Kota Kinabalu and Langkawi to KLIA2 are subject to change.
The above flights are operated by MYAirline's Airbus A320-200 aircraft, equipped with 180 seats in a single-class cabin. Each carry-on baggage weight allowed is 7 kg.
"The all-in fares start from as low as RM48 from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi, while the fares for Kuching and Kota Kinabalu start from RM68 and RM88, respectively,” it said.
Bookings can be made via MYAirline’s website at www.myairline.my from 26 to 30 November 2022, while the travel period for this deal is from 1 December 2022 to 25 March 2023.
As part of its promotional deal, the airline is also offering exclusive MYAirline vouchers which can be used for flights between 1 and 15 December 2022.
Moving forward, MYAirline said it plans to launch flights to Kota Bharu, Penang, Sibu, Tawau, Miri, Alor Setar, Terengganu and other major destinations in Malaysia upon obtaining the regulator’s approval. There are also plans to launch a direct flight between Penang and Langkawi.
MYAirline Chief Executive Officer Rayner Teo said the flight frequencies would be increased as the airline’s domestic network expands, adding that it plans to start flying to Singapore and other ASEAN countries by the second quarter of 2023 at the latest.
