Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), the parent company of national carrier Malaysia Airlines, is accelerating its growth with new routes, including to China.

MAG said in a statement on Friday that Malaysia Airlines will commence daily flights between Kuala Lumpur and Chengdu Tianfu International Airport (TFU) beginning Jan. 9, 2026.

This expansion reinforces its presence in one of the region's fastest-growing markets for both business and leisure travel, further supported by the recent introduction of reciprocal visa-free entry between Malaysia and China.

The airline currently operates flights to Beijing (PKX), Shanghai (PVG), Guangzhou (CAN), Xiamen (XMN), Hong Kong (HKG), and Taipei (TPE).

Meanwhile, its subsidiary Firefly will launch new jet services to Krabi (KBV), Siem Reap (SAI) and Cebu (CEB) from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) from November 2025 onwards.

In addition to new routes, Malaysia Airlines and Firefly will increase frequencies across their network to strengthen connectivity, beginning October 2025.

Malaysia Airlines is adding more services to Australia, New Zealand, China, India, the Maldives, and Bangladesh, while Firefly is boosting domestic and regional connectivity to Singapore, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Penang, and Johor Bahru.
