The announcement was made at the signing ceremony between Malaysia Airlines’ Vice President of Haj & Charter, Yazid Mohamed and Director of Christmas Island Air, Gee Foo.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, Yazid Mohamed said, “Christmas Island is best known for its amazing tropical rainforest overlooking the scenic coastline that has become the habitat for a variety of bird species and millions of red crabs. We are honoured to be collaborating with Christmas Island Air again this year as the available inbound flights will also encourage travelers from Christmas Island to visit Malaysia. With this collaboration, we hope to provide a seamless travel solution with the best travelling experience to our customers. Utilising our brand new B737-800 for this service, passengers will experience better overall in-flight comfort,” he added.
Meanwhile, Director of Christmas Island Air Gee Foo said, “During this time, it is the unique annual red crab migration season where millions of red crabs will move from the forest to the ocean coast to mate as well as spawn. This charter will enable tourists from Malaysia to fly direct from Kuala Lumpur to Christmas Island, instead of flying via Perth, to experience this unique migration. The island also boasts a collection of rare and unusual birds nd offers a fantastic fishing and diving experience.
