The move, which will be completed this year, reflects the company's ongoing focus on strengthening its presence "across key markets".
"We continue to elevate the travel experience at every touchpoint. From the warmth of Malaysian Hospitality to the innovations shaping each journey on the ground, every step forward is designed to serve our guests better. With more of our fleet entering the service, guests can also look forward to a more refined journey," said the company.
"Including our first fully lie-flat Business Class seat on our Boeing 737-10 and MAYA, Malaysia Airlines' first AI-powered cabin crew. Together with our Sister Airline, Firefly Airlines, we are expanding our reach even further. Opening up more possibilities and ensuring the spirit of Malaysian Hospitality is experienced across the region. As we set our sights on Destination 2030, our ambition is clear. To carry Malaysia’s wings with pride across the world, connecting travelers, cultures and opportunities," Malaysia Airlines added.
Last year, the company continued to earn global recognition for its products and services, advancing to the 27th position in the 2025 Skytrax World Airline Rankings and gaining recognition among the World’s Top 10 Cabin Crew.
