MASwings is a full fledge carrier while Firefly is a community carrier ala LCC. So, MASwing configured their seats 31' pitch while Firefly configured theirs in 30' pitch only. It is true that Maswings ATR comes with Business class, so total seating capacity is 62 passenger, 6C 56Y, no difference in seat pitch, just that you occupy both seats.

Maswings has less forward cargo capacity than firefly ATR to faciliate more seats. seating pitch the same just that it has partition for business class.

So, can I say MASwings and MH is like SilkAir to SQ?
