Firefly’s Background
Firefly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, began operations in April 2007. Currently, it operates a fleet of 12 ATR 72-500 turboprop aircraft out of Penang and Subang, connecting secondary destinations within the Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand Growth Triangle as well as providing air linkages between Malaysia and Singapore.
Firefly provides incredible value as well as convenient flight timings and excellent service to its passengers. With Firefly, passengers enjoy 20kg of checked-baggage allowance, complimentary in-flight refreshment, assigned seating and the convenience of city airports.
Firefly has also received numerous accolades. The most recent was in April 2012 when Firefly was named the Most Promising Brand of the Year in the Transportation, Travel & Tourism category by Putra Brand Awards. Five months prior to this, in November 2011, Firefly was conferred the “Superbrand” status. Other awards received include the 2010 Frost & Sullivan Value Airline of the Year award and the Green Initiative of the Year 2010 award by Leaders in Aviation in conjunction with the Doha Aviation Summit. In 2009 Firefly was also recognised as the Best Brand in Aviation by the BrandLaureate.

ReplyDeleteOpinions are all AirMiles is about anymore, I got an email yesterday offering 2 buy airmiles (currently worth about 22 cents) for completing a survey, IF, I qualify. And you're right, they're collecting a ton of data and then telling you they don't need you.
