British Airways relaunches Asia routes
British Airways launched its latest Asia routes – to Kuala Lumpur and Tbilisi routes this week, expanding its connectivity to Central and Southeast Asia.
The flag carrier relaunched KL flights, touching down in Malaysia for the first time in five years.
Customers on the first flight were greeted on arrival with goodie bags and special gifts.
British Airways will operate daily from London Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur, served by the airline’s Boeing 787-900 fleet with a choice of four cabins – World Traveller (economy), World Traveller Plus (premium economy), Club World (business class) and First (first class).
The airline also recently expanded its codeshare partnership with Malaysia Airlines, giving customers more travel options and onward connections to more than 17 routes from Kuala Lumpur.
This includes travel to key destinations available to book as part of a single ticket, such as Australia, New Zealand, Cambodia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
British Airways has also welcomed Tbilisi back into its route network, after a hiatus of more than a decade.
As part of its short-haul network, customers travelling to Tbilisi have the choice of two cabins – Club Europe (business class) and Euro Traveller (econom).
British Airways’ Chief Planning and Strategy Officer, Neil Chernoff, said: “We’re delighted to welcome Malaysia and Georgia back to our network, both of which are two key destinations that our customers know and love.”
British Airways has also just ramped up Asia flights to Tokyo Haneda (HND) to twice daily, marking a significant boost in capacity and connectivity between the UK and Japan ahead of the summer season.
British Airways will now operate 14 flights a week to Tokyo, including flights operated by the airline’s A350 fleet once a day.
