The CEO of MYAirline (MYM, Kuala Lumpur Subang) says he wants to start international flights in June 2023 and will therefore begin selling tickets for those services in May.

Speaking at a MYAirline CSR event on April 18, Raynor Teo said the first international flights would be to the neighbouring markets of Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand. "Hopefully, we can commence ticket bookings by end of this month, or early next month," he said before adding that a lot depends on getting the necessary additional aircraft in time. MYAirline currently operates six A320-200s but is shooting for 20 by the end of the year. The seventh aircraft has been identified as OE-IZV (msn 2968) - ex easyJet Europe (EC, Vienna) stock still undergoing maintenance at Tallinn Lennart Meri. “We have enough time to make sure all the aircraft are ready to fly," a confident Teo said regarding the international expansion.

Meanwhile, MYAirline commenced its eighth domestic route this week, starting daily roundtrip Kota Kinabalu - Tawau flights on April 19. Teo says the service will offer passengers more options and greater convenience while contributing to the economic growth of Sabah. Since its inaugural revenue service on December 1, 2022, MYAirline now flies on the Kuala Lumpur - Kota Kinabalu, Kuala Lumpur - Kota Bharu, Kuala Lumpur - Kuching, Kuala Lumpur - Langkawi, Kuala Lumpur - Penang, Kuala Lumpur - Sibu, and Kuala Lumpur - Tawau sectors. The new Tawau - Kota Kinabula service, in addition to being the airline's only intra-Sabah route, is also the only MYAirline route that bypasses the Malaysian capital.
