Malaysia’s newest budget airline ready to take off

After receiving its air operators certificate (AOC) from the Malaysian Civil Aviation Authority last week, a new low-cost carrier is anticipated to launch operations soon. MYAirline is in the final stages of planning and hopes to start flying in the last quarter of 2022.

The CEO of the airline announced that it would start offering domestic flight services with three Airbus A320-200 aircraft. According to him, the concept for MYAirline was born when the company decided to enter the low-cost flying market due to the demand for these airlines in the area. Last week, we acquired our AOC, which will take effect starting the next month,” stated Teo.

Considering that the nation was still coping with the spread of Covid-19, the idea to launch MYAirline was conceived in October 2020. But now, he claimed, as the nation moves closer to the endemic phase and demand for aviation services rises, it would appear that the decision to start another airline paid off.

Teo stated that when the airline is launched, the flight routes of MYAirline will be formally revealed. MYAirline will only operate narrow-body aircraft, staying true to the fundamentals of low-cost airlines from the perspective of aircraft operations.

MAVCOM authorized the issuance of Conditional Approval for an Air Service Licence to MYAirline in December 2021 for a one-year period ending on December 31, 2022.
