MALAYSIAN Airlines’ new low-cost carrier, Firefly airlines, began operating daily direct flights between Phuket and Penang earlier this month.
The first flights took off on April 13.
Malaysian Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor announced the new service at a press conference at the Royal Phuket City Hotel earlier
this month.
Firefly, which launched on April 2, will also fly direct from Samui to Penang.
Last year, almost two million of Malaysia’s 17.5 million tourists came from Thailand, and Mr Adnan said Malaysia wanted to increase that number to 2.2 million.
“This year is very special year for Malaysia because we will celebrate our 50 years as an independent nation,” he said.
Mr Adnan said that this year, 240 events would be held throughout Malaysia, which he hoped would attract more Thai tourists.
Flights between Phuket and Penang will cost about 1000 baht each way, plus taxes, and are expected to be popular with people doing visa runs.
