FIREFLY will start thrice-daily flights between Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi from December 1.

Firefly’s managing director, Eddy Leong, said: “Market research has shown there is good demand for this sector. Thus, we will be utilising our biggest aircraft, a B737-800 with a seating capacity of 189, on the route.”

Leong added: “The flights will depart from Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s main terminal. This is advantageous especially for those passengers arriving to Kuala Lumpur International Airport main terminal on Malaysia Airlines and taking their onward flight to Langkawi on Firefly.”

Firefly also flies twice daily from Subang to Langkawi, and twice daily from Penang to Langkawi using its ATR 72-500 aircraft.
