It has been reported by Bernama that FlyFirefly Sdn Bhd, better known as Firefly, will take delivery of five ATR 72 aircraft in July this year. With the acquisition of the five planes, Firefly will add several new international destinations, including Acheh and Medan, for flights out of Penang.
Presently, it flies from its northern hub, the Bayan Lepas International Airport, to several destinations in the peninsula and southern Thailand using three Fokker 50 aircraft.
Firefly is a subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines (MAS). Launched in April last year as the country’s first community airline, it now flies to several destinations in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
