Subang, 14 Jan 2010 – Firefly is picking up its new year’s pace from where it left last year by increasing the frequency of flights from Subang to Singapore to cater to the current high demand on that route. 

The new 5th frequency flight is now open for sale and the service will commence
from 28 March 2010, Firefly said in a statement today.

To celebrate the added frequency, Firefly is offering a promotional fare from
Subang to Singapore, from as low as RM100.

The current promotion also covers flights to all destinations from as low as RM50 and RM100 for domestic and international travels respectively. The special fare offer runs from now until Jan 21 for the travel period from Jan 21 to Oct 30 2010. 

Promotional seats are limited and available on a first-come, first-served
basis, and made exclusively online via www.fireflyz.com.

“High loads and strong demand for this route have encouraged us to add our fifth frequency flight,” said Firefly’s head of Marketing and Communications, Angelina Fernandez. 

Firefly anticipates to carry 1.3 million passengers by the year end.

Angelina emphasized that, “Firefly currently operates four daily flights to Singapore. We began our inaugural Singapore-Subang route with three flights daily effective July 1 in 2009, and subsequently a fourth frequency was added on July 12. This additional flight into Singapore further strengthens Firefly’s stronghold on commuters travelling for business and leisure on this route. Moreover, the high demand is an indication that travel has picked up significantly, and we are extremely pleased to be able to provide customers with more convenience and travel options.”

She further stressed the benefits of flying with Firefly whereby passengers have the convenience of flying from Skypark Subang, a city airport where their check-in process is completely hassle-free. Additionally, Firefly offers at no extra cost added values such as 20 kg of free check-in baggage allowance, assigned seating, and in-flight complimentary refreshment with snacks.

Firefly apologizes to all its passengers for flight delays during the Hari Raya Haji weekend. The delay was caused by ‎​an aircraft being temporary out of service for technical defect which took two days to rectify.

Managing Director and CEO, Eddy Leong clarified that the defect was not major but rectification took longer than expected due to awaiting of specific spare parts from overseas. Added to that its backup aircraft also had a minor defect on Friday but was cleared quickly.

“Unfortunately the out of service aircraft and the short hiccup on the backup aircraft caused a domino effect on all scheduled flights, resulting in multiple delays. We sincerely apologize to all affected passengers and assures all passengers that Firefly practices a very high safety standards failing which an aircraft would not be allowed to be operated.”

Firefly thanked all passengers for their support, patience and understanding during the affected period.
