Malaysia Airlines is thrilled to announce the launch of direct flights to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris, marking a key milestone in the airline’s European expansion. This route, which will commence on March 22, 2025, represents Malaysia Airlines’ 68th destination, reinforcing its position as the gateway to Asia and beyond.
In celebration of the route’s return after nearly a decade, Malaysia Airlines is unveiling the “Time for Paris” campaign. Tickets will be available for sale from September 6, 2024, with an introductory all-in return fare of RM3,699 (approx..GBP650). The service will operate four weekly flights from March 22, 2025, operating directly from KL international Airport Terminal 1 using the A350-900 aircraft, and starting daily flights from March 29, 2025.
Paris, renowned for its iconic landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum, and Notre-Dame Cathedral, offers a blend of world-class cuisine, exquisite fashion, and a vibrant cultural scene. With its charming streets, historic architecture, and renowned art galleries, Paris presents a distinguished experience for all travellers.
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 direct services from Kuala Lumpur 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.”
