Malaysia Airlines has announced that the Australian city of Melbourne will be the first destination for its new fleet of Airbus A330neos.
The A330neos will be configured with 297 seats - with 28 in Business Class - which will feature a new Suite. The airline will be first in the world to install this kind of suite on an A330neo - currently only found on larger widebodies including the A350s and Boeing 777s.
The suite features privacy doors and direct-aisle access, a departure from Malaysia Airlines’ current staggered Business Class.
Malaysia Airlines expects to take delivery of three A330neos this year, from a total order of 20.
Malaysia Airlines has outlined an expansion plan for its network, adding new routes from Kuala Lumpur to Chiang Mai in Thailand, Da Nang in Vietnam, and Male in the Maldives, all served by its Boeing 737 fleet.
Daily flights to Male will kick off on 1st August, followed by five-weekly flights to Chiang Mai starting 15th August, and daily service to Da Nang commencing on 24th September.
The addition of Male will bring the airline's South Asian network to 13 destinations, while Chiang Mai and Da Nang will expand Malaysia Airlines' ASEAN network to 16 destinations.
