Flights will be operated from KUL’s Terminal 1 and CDG’s Terminal 2C. The airline will deploy Airbus A350-900 aircraft on Paris flights featuring 4 First Class seats, 35 Business Class seats, 27 extra-legroom Economy Class seats and 220 standard Economy Class seats.
Our expansion into Europe marks a significant milestone for Malaysia Airlines. 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.
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.
Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) said.
Paris will be the airline’s 68th destination. Paris, renowned for its iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and Notre-Dame Cathedral, offers a blend of world-class cuisine, exquisite fashion, and a vibrant cultural scene.
Meanwhile, Malaysia Airlines recently announced that it is cutting 20% flights through the end of 2024 due to operational constraints.
