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. Read the rest of this entry »

Most of the world’s leading airport operators (80%) intend to make passenger self-service the primary channel for check-in, according to a new global survey launched today.

The survey which was launched today at the ACI World Conference in Kuala Lumpur, also found that IT budgets for airports in 2008 were largely unaffected by the global economic downturn with IT investments as % of revenue decreasing slightly from 3.5% in 2007 to 3.2% in 2008. The world airport IT industry is estimated to be worth $3 billion and 45% of this year’s survey respondents expect an increase in budget in 2010 while only 14% expect a lower budget.
Catherine Mayer, SITA Vice President for Airports, said: “This year’s survey confirms that self-service is a global trend with almost 80% of respondents planning to make it the primary means for check-in by 2010 as is already the case at 40% of the world’s top 100 airports.
