This comes shortly after it began commercial passenger flights to Langkawi, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu last week.

As part of its introductory offer, MYAirline is offering tickets to Penang and Kota Baru from RM49 one-way while tickets to Sibu are priced from RM89 one-way. The price listed is all-in including taxes but it excludes other add-ons such as preferred seating, in-flight meals and checked luggage which can be purchased at extra cost.
