SUBANG, January 28 – To meet the  surge of demand to travel during the forthcoming Chinese New Year holidays and for the convenience of its customers, Firefly, Your Community Airline, is offering extra flights on the Subang -  Alor Setar – Subang and the Singapore – Ipoh- Singapore routes. These extra flight are now on sale online at Firefly’s website, www.fireflyz.com.my or at all Firefly’s Airport and City Ticketing office, and Malaysia Airlines Ticketing Office.

In a statement issued by Firefly today, the extra flights during Chinese New Year covers  the Singapore – Ipoh  route  on the 9, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17 and 21 February 2010 and the Subang – Alor Setar route  on 13 February.

The Singapore – Ipoh- Singapore route extra flights have been on sale  since October 2009.

Firefly’s head of marketing and communications, Ms Angelina Fernandez, said they are sharing the excitement of this year’s Chinese New Year falling on the same day as Valentine’s Day. The demand to travel has increased dramatically as we think that apart from those rushing to balik kampong both to celebrate Chinese New Year Family reunion and the holidays, the demand has probably been arisen from couples  and families going for their romantic reunion weekends.  

“Firefly looks forward to bring families together for this Chinese New Year festive holidays to all our passengers.  Family reunion are especially important and is a very significant part of all our lives. Every festive holiday is always a family reunion for all of us. We would like to wish all our passengers and their families a very Happy and Prosperous Chinese New Year and Happy Holidays” said Angelina.
