"As global travel restrictions, especially across
ASEAN, are lifted, customers are excited and looking forward to
hassle-free travel. The launch of our new Boeing 737-800 jets
earlier this year will drive more traffic and fly more passengers
to various destinations, connecting them between cities and
favourite holiday destinations like Phuket," said Firefly Chief
Executive Officer Philip See.
After recently launching flights to Langkawi,
Johor Bharu, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu, the resumption of Phuket
flights from Penang adds another destination flown by Boeing
737-800 planes.
Nongyao Jirundorn, Tourism Authority Thailand -
Kuala Lumpur Office, said, "It is great to see that Malaysian
travellers from Penang think of Thailand as a preferred
destination and are ready to explore Phuket with the convenience
of Firefly’s direct flight. Penang and Phuket share similarities
in history and culture. This year, there are 890,000 tourist
arrivals to Phuket from all over the world. Thailand also welcomed
560,000 Malaysian tourists from January to August this year.”
