Firefly arrives in Singapore

FIREFLY, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, has introduced flights between Singapore and the old Kuala Lumpur city centre airport, the first carrier to do so in recent times.  Established in 2007 the airline operates a fleet of ATR and Fokker turboprops to domestic and nearby overseas points.  Initially the airline will serve Changi six times daily.  A rapid expansion of the Singapore operation is planned with flights now also started to Ipoh and Kuala Terengganu.  Kuantan begins on 22 July and Malacca 1 September.  The airline also expects to launch flights to Alor Setar and Kota Bahru later this year.  With the airline’s new services, Changi will be linked to nine cities in Malaysia via 110 daily flights, making it the international airport with the most connections to Malaysia. www.fireflyz.com.my
