SUBANG – Firefly, the low-cost arm of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), is set to resume its service from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang (SZB) to Seletar Airport (XSP), the commercial airport serving the north-east region of Singapore, after more than two years of suspension due to the pandemic and border closure, effective 13 June 2022.
The twice-daily return flights are set to be operated by ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft with a capacity of 72 seats and will progressively increase their services by the end of the year.
Tickets can be purchased from as low as RM119 one way and are available for sale through Firefly mobile app, website, booking offices and travel agents.
Firefly Chief Executive Officer, Philip See said, “With the opening of Malaysia’s border, Firefly is glad to reconnect communities within Malaysia and Singapore whether for business, leisure or with loved ones. As the Ministry of Tourism & Culture targets attracting two million international tourists to Malaysia this year, Firefly sees this as a perfect time to reinstate and play the role of connecting the communities within both countries.”
Changi Airport Group Air Hub Development Managing Director, Mr Lim Ching Kiat added, “We’re delighted with Firefly’s flight resumption to Seletar Airport, providing more options for passengers travelling between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. We have seen strong travel demand between both countries since travel restrictions eased. Together with our airport partners, Seletar Airport is ready to support Firefly’s operations and we look forward to welcoming and serving passengers at the airport.”
