Starting tomorrow (March 26, 2023), Firefly will offer direct flights from Penang International Airport (PIA) to Singapore’s Changi Airport.
They will fly their Boeing 737-800 on a twice daily frequency.
Flights depart from PIA at 10am and 6.35 pm respectively, while the return flight from Singapore will be at 12.40 pm and 9.15 pm.
The flight will be operated by the airline’s newly retrofitted aircraft equipped with 189 seats, all in Economy class, which now comes with a vibrant ambience and new features such as the new ergonomic seats and legroom, personal device holder and USB type A and C power outlets for passengers to charge their devices at each seat.
The new service marks another milestone in the airline’s network expansion strategy and its second service to the lion city after resuming flights from Seletar Airport (XSP) and Subang Airport (SZB) in June 2022.
Chief Executive Officer of Airlines (MAG), Ahmad Luqman Mohd Azmi, commented, “Since the resumption of our service to and from Seletar last year, we have seen strong travel demands from both sectors, especially from the business segments.
“This is due to the strategic location and perfect timing, which allows customers from both countries to travel for business activities conveniently. In addition, our recently launched jet
operations into Banda Aceh and Medan (Kuala Namu) enable another option linking Northern Sumatra with Singapore.
“Hence, we are pleased to expand our footprint in Singapore by connecting the northern region of Malaysia from Penang to Singapore’s main hub and tap into the wider markets from the leisure segment.”
While Assistant Chief Executive, of the International Group of Singapore Tourism Board, Juliana Kua, added, “Malaysia is an important source market for Singapore. In 2022, we received close to 591,000 visitor arrivals from Malaysia, making it our third-largest source market. STB is glad to see that our partner MAG has launched a new flight from Penang to Singapore on Firefly, and we look forward to jointly promoting Singapore and welcoming more visitors from Malaysia to our destination.”
