For its flights to Europe, the airline will operate twice-weekly flights from Kuala Lumpur to London-Heathrow effective July 4. It will be gradually increased to thrice-weekly on September 1, followed by four-times weekly on October 1.
During the last two months, Malaysia Airlines suspended a majority of flights due to air travel restrictions implemented by the Malaysian government towards the end of March amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline has continued to operate flights to select destinations such as London, Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney, and Perth for repatriation travel purposes in addition to limited domestic routes.
