Malaysia Airlines is thrilled to announce the launch of direct flights to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris, marking a key milestone in the airline’s European expansion. This route, which will commence on 22 March 2025, represents Malaysia Airlines’ 68th destination, reinforcing its position as the gateway to Asia and beyond.
Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of Malaysia Aviation Group
(MAG), said, “Our expansion into Europe marks a significant milestone for Malaysia Airlines.
With the arrival of additional widebody aircraft starting this Quarter 4, we are ready to bring
this long-awaited city back into our network. While the European market is highly
competitive, we see tremendous potential for this route to attract key travellers, not just from
Malaysia but also from neighbouring regions.
By launching direct services from Kuala Lumpur to Paris, we reaffirm our position as the
flagship airline and strengthen our role as the gateway to Asia and beyond. This route will be
served by our state-of-the-art A350-900 aircraft, which already operates on key routes like
London and Doha, delivering a world-class experience to our passengers.”
