Malaysia Airlines has announced it’s 68th destination to Paris CDG commencing 22 March 2025.
In addition to Paris, Malaysia Airlines is also planning services to Madrid and Milan. Malaysia Airlines had axed all European routes bar London from it’s network nearly a decade ago.
The airline will operate four weekly flights from 22 March 2025 KLIA Terminal 1 on the Airbus A350-900 and going daily from 29 March 2025.
Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, group managing director of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, “Our expansion into Europe marks a significant milestone for Malaysia Airlines. By launching direct services from Kuala Lumpur to Paris, we reaffirm our position as the flagship airline and strengthen our role as the gateway to Asia and beyond. This route will be served by our state-of-the-art A350-900 aircraft, which already operates on key routes like London and Doha, delivering a world-class travel experience to our passengers. With the arrival of additional widebody aircraft starting this Quarter 4, we are ready to bring this long-awaited city back into our network. While the European market is highly competitive, we see tremendous potential for this route to attract key travellers, not just from Malaysia but also from neighbouring regions.”, said Captain Izham
The additional European destinations could be served by Malaysia Airlines’ upcoming new widebody airplanes, the Airbus A330-900NEO which the airline has ordered in August 2022 to replace its current A330 fleet.
Tickets on the service to CDG will be on sale from 6 September 2024
