Melaka Air to Offer Flights from Melaka Airport Beginning 11 November 2011

Recommended Posts

You guys are so funny ... love the jokes relating to 11, especially Chapter 11.

 

So do I gather that the airline's name is not yet confirmed? What does NN Aviation stands for - what is NN?

 

Surprised that there is no Melaka-Singapore flight ... would have thought that one a potential business if priced right.

 

Keep those jokes coming - they help to lower blood pressure!

Firefly takes off from Malacca via pact with Melaka Air

By Presenna Nambiar Published: 2011/07/29

MALACCA: Firefly will be the first local low-cost carrier to fly out of the Malacca International Airport, under a managed services agreement with Melaka Air.

 

Melaka Air is 10 per cent-owned by Malacca Foundation (Yayasan Melaka) and 90 per cent by private firm NN Flyers. It has a paid-up capital of RM20 million.

 

Last year Malacca International Airport saw some 21,000 passengers pass through its doors. With the new venture, it targets 30,000 passengers for 2011.

 

In an effort to boost passenger traffic at the upgraded airport, Melaka Air has a three-year arrangement with Firefly to fly to both international and domestic destinations.

 

The agreement will see Firefly station an ATR 72-500 at the airport. The aircraft will be one of the two it is to receive this November.

 

By year-end, Firefly will operate a fleet of 12 ATR 72-500, seven Boeing 737-800 and two Boeing 737-400.

 

With the aircraft, Firefly will start flights to Batam, Pekanbaru and Medan in Indonesia from Malacca, from November 11.

 

From November 19, Firefly will start flights to Penang and Kota Baru from Malacca.

 

Firefly will start ticket sales for its new routes to Penang and Kota Baru today. Promotional fares will start from RM88 all in, one way.

If all CMs and MBs had their way I'm pretty sure we'll have like 14 state-owned airlines, which would then have its own launching and then go kaput, vanish before you knew it.
