Malaysia Airlines is the national carrier of Malaysia and is recognised as one of Asia's largest, flying more than 48,000 passengers to some 100 destinations across 6 continents everyday. Malaysia Airlines flies to 60 international destinations in Asia, the Middle East, North America, South America, Australasia, Europe, and Africa.
Malaysia Airlines connects Australia to world via Kuala Lumpur or popularly known as KL. KL is a modern Asian city of gleaming skyscrapers, but it retains much of the local colour that has been wiped out in other Asian boom-cities. It has plenty of colonial buildings in its centre, a vibrant Chinatown with street vendors and night markets, and a bustling Little India.
Malaysia Airlines also operates two subsidiary airlines: Firefly and MASWings. Firefly is Malaysia's first community airline, offering safe, affordable and comfortable flying experiences to exclusive travel routes. They operate twice daily out of Penang International Airport to Kota Bharu, Langkawi, Kuantan, Kuala Terengganu, and offer daily services to Phuket and Koh Samui in Thailand. MASwings is the commuter airline of Sabah and Sarawak, the two largest states of Malaysia which are located in Borneo.
