Firefly now offers direct flights between Kuala Lumpur and Haikou, China under scheduled-charter collaboration with Concept Holidays Sdn Bhd.
The Kuala Lumpur-Haikou connection is Firefly’s second scheduled-charter flight into China; the first being Kuala Lumpur-Nanning flights, which commenced in April 2012.
In the collaboration, Firefly will operate the flights at once a week for Concept Holidays Sdn Bhd, which has blocked all the seats to be packaged with hotel accommodation and ground tours. Concept Holidays Sdn Bhd will also be responsible for the marketing and sale of the packaged tours.
The inaugural Kuala Lumpur-Haikou flight departed on 20 November 2012 10.25am from the Main Terminal, of KL International Airport carrying 98 passengers. The flight utilised Firefly’s Boeing 737-400 aircraft, which has the capacity of 160 passengers and a maximum flight range of four hours. In-flight experiences can also be tailored to suit the passenger profile or destination that the charter client wishes to fly to.
