Firefly’s inaugural flight to Nanning
in Southern China commenced on the 19 April. The twice weekly charter services comprises direct flights
from Kuala Lumpur to Nanning every Sunday and flights from Kuala Lumpur to
Nanning via Penang every Thursday.
These services are a collaboration between Firefly and
Guangxi China International Travel Service utilizing Firefly’s B737-400
aircraft with a passenger capacity of 162 seats.
Guangxi China International Travel Service Charter Flight
Co-ordinator, Eugene Lim, said this was the company’s second collaboration with
Firefly for scheduled charter services to Nanning.
The first collaboration was last year with seven schedule charter services
mounted between 19 November and 31 December.

high level of professionalism, provide a timely and reliable service and are
fast to respond to changing market demands”.

Firefly’s CEO, Ignatius Ong, said: “Nanning
is our first foray into China.
We see demand for both leisure and business travel. We are also exploring the
possibilities of flying to more cities in China using our B737 aircraft.”
Currently, Firefly is the only airline to provide direct
link between Malaysia and Nanning. This direct
connection saves time as previously, travellers would have to fly about six
hours to get to Nanning via Guangzhou
or Hong Kong.
