Malaysia Airlines seeks hub role for Kuala LumpurMr Foong, left, and Mr Bakar, centre, unveil Malaysia Airlines' new routes at last week's trade fair in Kuala Lumpur. "We never miss an opportunity for recovery, and we want to position ourselves strongly in building Kuala Lumpur as a hub," said Bryan Foong, chief executive of airline business at Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), the operator of Malaysia Airlines. The new routes support direct-point traffic to and from Kuala Lumpur airport, aligning with the nation's Visit Malaysia 2026 vision. Malaysia Airlines offers a "Bonus Side Trip" programme, allowing passengers who book international flights with a stopover in Kuala Lumpur to visit eight domestic destinations for free. By 2030, Malaysia Airlines aims to rank among Skytrax's top 10 global airlines.
