KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) announced that its regional airline, Firefly, will relocate its jet operations from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang Airport) to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) Terminal 1, starting August 19, 2025.
In a statement, MAG said Firefly will continue its turboprop services from Subang, maintaining connectivity to major domestic and regional routes.
Jet services will launch from KLIA on August 19 with the inaugural flight to Tawau, followed by Kuching and Kota Kinabalu on August 21, Singapore on August 22, Johor Bahru on August 23, Kota Bharu and Terengganu on August 30, and Sibu on September 3.
The airline will also increase flights from KLIA to Penang from the current two per week to six weekly flights beginning August 23, with plans to raise that to 10 weekly by November.
Passengers affected by the shift will be contacted directly and offered alternative arrangements or full refunds in accordance with the Malaysian Aviation Consumer Protection Code 2016.
MAG said the relocation supports its long-term network optimisation strategy aimed at boosting operational efficiency and ensuring the sustainability of Firefly’s jet services.
MAG Group Managing Director Datuk Captain Izham Ismail noted that KLIA provides a better platform for Firefly to expand its jet operations, improve passenger connectivity, and leverage shared group resources in engineering, ground handling, and catering.
“Subang Airport will remain a vital hub for Firefly’s turboprop network, offering crucial connections across Malaysia and the region,” he added.
The move also aligns with MAG’s broader goal of strengthening KLIA as the country’s primary aviation hub.
