BANGKOK: Malaysia Airlines is excited to announce the launch
of flights to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris, marking a significant
milestone in the airline's European expansion. This new route, set to commence
on 22 March 2025, will be Malaysia Airlines' 68th destination, further
solidifying its role as the gateway to Asia and beyond.
In celebration of this route's return after nearly a decade,
Malaysia Airlines is introducing the "Time for Paris" campaign.
Tickets will be available for purchase starting 6 September 2024, featuring an
introductory all-inclusive return fare of THB 25,500. The service will operate
four weekly flights from 22 March 2025, departing directly from Kuala Lumpur
International Airport Terminal 1 aboard the A350-900 aircraft, with daily
flights commencing on 29 March 2025.
Paris, celebrated for its iconic landmarks such as the
Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and Notre-Dame Cathedral, offers a rich
tapestry of world-class cuisine, exquisite fashion, and a vibrant cultural
scene. With its charming streets, historic architecture, and renowned art
galleries, Paris promises a distinguished experience for all travelers.
Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of
Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, "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 services 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."
In addition to this exciting route expansion, MAG is
