Firefly, a subsidiary of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), has launched a new direct daily jet service between Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) Terminal 1 and Krabi (KBV), expanding its international network across Southeast Asia.
Inaugural flight and strong demand
The inaugural flight FY3610 departed KUL on 17 November 2025 at 11:30am local time and arrived in Krabi at 12:00 noon. The launch was marked with a send-off ceremony at the boarding gate, where passengers received commemorative tokens.
The first service recorded a strong load factor of 96%, highlighting solid demand for the new route.

The new service strengthens regional connectivity by enabling seamless transfers for passengers arriving on Malaysia Airlines from major international hubs, offering direct onward travel to Krabi via KLIA.
The daily return flights enhance access to popular ASEAN destinations and support both leisure and business travel.

Passengers flying with Firefly benefit from complimentary services including 10kg checked baggage, in-flight snacks and flexible flight change options. Travellers connecting from Malaysia Airlines also enjoy through-checked baggage and an included meal.
Additional options include pre-bookable meals featuring Asian-inspired hot dishes and locally made Malaysian treats, with more selections available for purchase onboard.
