More competition means more cheap flights!


Firefly recently announced that they are starting to fly jet aircraft in order to carry passengers to more destinations. This will boost its carrying capacity and perhaps enables it to serve longer flight haul. Fleet expansion is part of their plans to serve the Eastern Malaysian. By Jan 2011, there will be three local airlines serving the KL-KK and KL-Kuching routes!

Firefly currently operates ATR 72-500 turbopropeller aircraft serving passengers to destinations in Indonesia, Thailands, Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia from their hubs in Penang and Subang SkyPark.

According to a news report, Firefly will acquire 30 Boeing 737-800 from 2011 and 2015 as part of their expansion exercise besides helping MAS to facilitate a better flight connectivity for the European market. The source said the new aircraft will fly from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

This would put more stress on the ticket price and we should anticipate price war between its rival Air Asia. Firefly offers tickets starting from RM9. Log on to their website for more into http://www.fireflyz.com.my/
