Return to Headlines

Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will continue on its expansion in Asia Pacific with the launch of additional flight routes to two destinations: Auckland and Yangon. MAS will also expand in China, following the start of a new codeshare agreement with Xiamen Airlines for flights to Fuzhou and Xiamen. MAS has started an initiative to enhance air connectivity with key international markets via codesharing agreements to expand their network and increase tourist arrivals in Malaysia. Since cutting several flight routes in early 2012 due to a cost-cutting strategy, MAS has been gradually boosting operations across the Asia Pacific region including launching new flights to Kathmandu and Kochi and resuming flights to Dubai and Darwin.
