Malaysia Airlines has announced 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.

In celebration of the route’s return after nearly a decade, Malaysia Airlines is unveiling a “Time for Paris” campaign. Tickets will be available for sale from 6 September 2024.

The service will operate four weekly flights from 22 March 2025, operating directly from KL international Airport Terminal 1 using the A350-900 aircraft, and starting daily flights from 29 March 2025.

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 travel experience to our passengers.”
