Firefly stopover service a big hit

Friday November 14, 2008

By CHOI TUCK WO

LONDON: Firefly is tapping the international stopover market by offering its much-touted “low-fare and incredible value” offer for long-haul travellers.

More than 20 international travel firms have registered with the airline to act as agents to provide stopovers in Malaysia.

Marketing and communications head Angelina Fernandez said the stopovers could allow the passengers to take the airline’s direct connecting flights to other domestic destinations or to Thailand and Indonesia.

She said they were overwhelmed by the response from travel agents from countries such as Britain, the United States, Sweden, Germany, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and India.

“One agent from the Maldives even pledged to bring the first batch of travellers for stopovers in Subang and Penang next week,” she said at the four-day World Travel Market at Excel London which ends today.

Angelina said they had provided a new venue for travel agents who faced connecting problems domestically such as high costs, long travelling time and distance.

She also said agents were surprised with Firefly’s 20kg baggage allowance for domestic flights, compared with the usual 10kg or 15kg.

The airline also provided assigned seating and complimentary in-flight refreshments and snacks which were a welcome change for an airline offering low fares.

“We’re not a low-budget airline but we offer low fares at extremely incredible value.” Angelina said most agents requested for popular diving destinations such Redang, Perhentian, Penang, Bandar Aceh, Koh Samui, Phuket and Johor Baru.

She said they also offered competitive pricing where long-haul travellers could fly to any destination within Malaysia for as low as £10 (RM60).

From there, they could take connecting flights to Langkawi or Koh Samui for a few days, before flying to Terengganu or Medan

Insufficient KL-London Flights By MAS Will Be Raised In Cabinet, Says Azalina

November 11, 2008 23:19 PM

From Haslinda Zainal

LONDON, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- The Tourism Ministry will bring up the matter of insufficient Kuala Lumpur-London flights by Malaysia Airlines (MAS) to the Cabinet, said its minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said.

She said the problem had affected tourist arrivals from Europe and London.

"Now with global fuel prices at a very low level, MAS should use the opportunity to increase its flight frequency on the KL-London route," she told reporters after opening Tourism Malaysia's booth known as Malaysia Pavilion at the World Travel Market fair at the ExCel London exposition park here Tuesday.

It is understood MAS, which used to operate some 14 flights a week on the route, had reduced the frequency to between 10 and 12 a week.

Azalina said this and other shortcomings like expensive airfares had caused Malaysians and Europeans to opt for other airlines.

She said apart from this, the London-Langkawi and London-Penang routes that had been scrapped, would also raised in the Cabinet.

Azalina also said that despite the economic crunch the world was facing, tourist arrivals in Malaysia showed an increase of 4.8 per cent as of October.

She said tourist arrivals from Britain as of October was 303,569, an increase of 36.1 per cent compared to arrivals for the whole of last year from that country.

"The daily average spending of tourists from the United Kingdom amounted to RM3,500 and their average length of stay was 9.6 days. This augurs well for Malaysia," she added.

1.1 Million Thais Visited Malaysia In First Nine Months Of The Year

November 03, 2008 15:35 PM

By D. Arul Rajoo

BANGKOK, Nov 3 (Bernama) -- There was only a slight dip in the number of Thai tourist arrivals in Malaysia in the first nine months of the year, despite the increase in travel cost, high oil price, economic slowdown and political crisis in the Kingdom.

Iskandar Mirza Mohd Yusof, Tourism Malaysia's senior deputy director (research and industrial division), said about 1.1 million Thais visited the country between January and September, as compared to 1.14 million during the same period last year.

"It was a slight decrease and was basically due to the high oil price which affected world travelling, and the political situation in Thailand.

"But this is minimal and we hope to target more Thai tourists, with more promotional programmes being undertaken now," he said after leading a delegation to participate in the 14th Discovery Thailand and Discovery World expo here.

He said Malaysia, which received 20.97 million visitors from throughout the world last year, with tourist receipts of RM46.1 billion, saw a 14.1 per cent decrease in Thai arrivals from 1.89 million to 1.62 million last year.

Thailand remained the third biggest market for Malaysia as Singapore again topped the ranking in the first nine months of this year, with 8.1 million visitors, followed by Indonesia's 1.7 million.

Iskandar, who was accompanied by Tourism Malaysia for Thailand director Sani Sham Ahmad, tourism officials from Perak, Selangor, Penang, Melaka and Langkawi, as well as travel agencies, also met representatives from Thai travel associations, tour agencies and the media during his visit.

He said a survey undertaken by Tourism Malaysia showed that Thai tourists preferred sight-seeing, visiting cultural and heritage sites, shopping and soft adventure activities like trekking in places such as Taman Negara.

"During the expo, we highlighted more attractions in Langkawi, Perak, Selangor and Penang, as these are states which have high impact on Thai tourists and can be easily accessed by road and flights.

"We have special packages and products catered for Thais," he added.

Other key segments promoted in Thailand include MICE and special interest promotions like education or possibly exclusive services that cater for the high-end and niche market, said Iskandar.

"Unique experiences like the cable car in Langkawi are popular among Thais. But we realise that the lack of direct flights is hampering our promotion of Langkawi, especially after Thai AirAsia cancelled its flight there...but we are looking at charter flights," he said.

MAHB Close To Completing Negotiations With Two To Three New Carriers

October 13, 2008 16:48 PM

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) is close to completing negotiations with two to three new carriers to start operations in Malaysia before end of this year, says its managing director Datuk Seri Bashir Ahmad Abdul Majid.

"MAHB is confident that during the Routes conference the airport group is close to completing negotiations with two to three new carriers to start operations in Malaysia before year-end, so watch this space," he said in a statement today.

Since beginning of the year, MAHB has welcomed over 55 new routes from 12 airlines, generating around 200 additional weekly flights, a significant achievement given the current economic climate and the impact of high oil prices on the world's airlines.

At the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), national carrier Malaysia Airlines has started flying to Karachi and Yogyakarta while low-cost carrier AirAsia has launched flights to Guangzhou, Yogyakarta, Singapore, Ho Chi Minh City, Hong Kong, Haikou, Guilin, Batam and Pekanbaru.

MAHB said AirAsia's long haul sister company AirAsia X has launched flights to Hangzhou and Gold Coast.

KLIA has also attracted two new low-cost carriers on the deregulated Singapore route, Jetstar Asia and Tiger Airways, it said.

The airport operator said the Penang International Airport had received three new routes from Sriwijaya Air and Indonesia AirAsia as well as increased frequencies from Cathay Pacific.

In East Malaysia, the Kota Kinabalu International Airport has gained four new air services comprising Jakarta, Denpasar (both operated by Indonesia AirAsia), Manila (Cebu Pacific) and Labuan (AirAsia).

Indonesia AirAsia has also launched new services from Kuching to Jakarta and Denpasar.

MAHB said the Langkawi International Airport also attracted a number of new carriers operating short charter programmes.

It said the rest of the year continues to look bright with another seven destinations already announced to start before the end of the year.

MAHB said no new carriers are not expected on the fully deregulated Kuala Lumpur-Singapore trunk route from Dec 1, 2008.

However, it said that Tiger and AirAsia have already announced considerable frequency increases with both carriers adding an additional four daily frequencies, with AirAsia up to six daily from two daily and Tiger up to five daily from one daily. MAHB manages and operates 39 airports in Malaysia, including five international, 16 domestic and 18 short take-off and landing airports.

Association:Offer new air route

Friday November 23, 2007

A LANGKAWI-ALOR STAR air route should be introduced to give visitors a better transportation option in view of Visit Kedah Year next year, according to Matta's Kedah chapter.

Its vice chairman A. Gunasagaran said AirAsia or Firefly could service the untapped air route.

“I hope the authorities will look into this option,” he said in response to a recent announcement that the return ferry fare would be increased by RM10 (for Langkawi-Kuala Kedah route) and RM6 (for Langkawi-Kuala Perlis route) effective Dec 1.

The return ticket will cost RM46 for Kuala Kedah-Langkawi route (from RM36 currently) and RM36 for Kuala Perlis-Langkawi route (from RM30).

Gunasagaran said AirAsia and Firefly could offer cheaper fares during promotions.

“If we have other transport options between the island and mainland, it will break the ferry operators’ monopoly,” he said.

Gunasagaran said tourism players were disappointed with the increase in ferry fare, as it would adversely affect domestic tourist arrivals in the long run.

He said it would be better for the Kedah or Perlis government to run the ferry services.

Tourism industry in north set to boom

Sunday 12 August 2007

GEORGE TOWN: The tourism industry in the Northern Corridor Economic Region (NCER) is set to boom over the next few years, with Penang and Langkawi jointly taking the lead.

Both islands can expect 27.8 million tourist arrivals with a five per cent increase on a year-on-year basis by 2012, generating total tourist receipts of RM55.6 billion.

According to the NCER Socio-economic Blueprint 2007-2025 prepared by Sime Darby Bhd, Penang and Langkawi will be established as premier tourist destinations.

Both islands intend to differentiate themselves by offering six-star services supported by premium attractions such as art galleries, yatching, boutique shops and entertainment.

It states that key tourism assets of both islands will be enhanced to attract higher-yielding tourists, thereby increasing per capita tourist spending.

One of the key areas both islands will focus on is the active and continuous promotion of medical tourism.

Penang is already at the forefront of the country’s health tourism industry.

The strategy now is to expand it to Langkawi, which is able to provide complementary medicine, traditional therapies and spa treatments.

The global market for traditional therapies is estimated at US$69 billion (RM240 billion).
State Tourism Development Committee chairman Teng Chang Yeow said Penang will work together with Langkawi and the other three states in the NCER — Perlis, Kedah and Perak — to develop the tourism industry.

"As a state with vast experience, we will certainly share our expertise and market know-how with the others.

"We cannot be seen as moving on our own unlike the past. We will pool all our resources together to ensure a win-win situation for all."

He added that Penang also needed a transformation to stay ahead in the industry.

He said the coming in of Sime Darby would serve as a catalyst to propel the tourism industry to greater heights.

Teng added that Penang will work closely with Langkawi to further promote medical tourism, seeing as how the state has over seven years experience in the field.

"We will provide our assistance to Langkawi.

" I am sure they will serve as new grounds for investment."

Travellers the winners in price war

01 Feb 2007
Lee Shi-Ian, June Ramli and Norazlin Mohd Nor

KUALA LUMPUR: Slurping on a McDonalds’ ice cream, Ahmad Zaki Abdul Rahman grinned as he guided his family towards a check-in counter.

"This is our first time on an airplane," he said.

The medical attendant, his wife and two young children had paid RM135 in total to fly to Kota Baru for the long weekend.

"The cost of travel for my family is almost the same as driving or taking the bus, only less hassle and stress," he said.

Ahmad and his family are just some of the thousands who will take to the skies this year, thanks to budget airline AirAsia.

With cheap fares and free promotional flights, the no-frills airline has had this segment of the market to itself since Datuk Tony Fernandes took over in 2001.

On Monday, national carrier Malaysia Airlines struck back, unveiling unprecedented discounts of up to 70 per cent for international destinations, and four-night holiday packages to London for RM3,096.

It is charging just RM9 for some one-way tickets to local stops such as Kuantan and Langkawi.

The promotion is part of the MAS Travel Fair which began yesterday, and continues until Feb 6.

"Yes, this is the lowest we have ever gone," MAS commercial director Datuk Abdul Rashid Khan said yesterday.

"We have the freedom to set prices. There was no such thing in the past because our prices were regulated by the government."

AirAsia apparently was not about to let MAS push these promotional fares without a challenge, however, and on the same day, began offering "super low fares".

One-way tickets to Penang, Terengganu and Kota Baru, for example, are available for under RM1, fuel surcharge and other taxes not included.

A seat on a flight to Phuket, Thailand, starts at RM19.99 and to Chang Mai from RM59.99.

Its promotion, tagged "the craziest sale in town", ends the day after MAS plans to end its travel fair.

This brewing price war is "music to the ears of all travellers", said a research analyst at a local stockbroking firm.

"I think more kampung folk, who’ve never been on a plane and seen the world, would benefit from the price war," he said.

AirAsia has taken pains to avoid calling this a price war, and so has MAS.

AirAsia senior corporate communications executive Janet Leow said the two airlines were aiming for different types of travellers.

"Our objective is to go for passengers who want a cheap, fast and easy flight to their destination without the services such as meals and drinks," she said.

"Those who want such services normally fly with MAS."

MAS’ Abdul Rashid said: "To put it in perspective, we face competition from more than 300 airlines, everyday, worldwide.

"This is not a price war."

The national carrier, long criticised for its heavy losses, is confident that it will be able to compete for more travellers as it attempts to return to profit this year.

"We cannot control the competition but we plan to shake it up. We are upbeat that we will be able to sell our domestic fares like hot cakes as we are a five-star airline with full service," he added.

His confidence stems from how the travel fair has performed so far.

"In the first hour, online ticket sales for domestic routes reached RM1 million," he said.

And he is betting MAS’ Australian and European routes will sell like hot cakes.

They were welcomed by Tourism Ministry Secretary-General Datuk Dr Victor Wee.

The state has lined up at least 13 national level tourism events and 31 state level tourism programmes throughout the year.

Perlis Tourism Action Council director Ahmad Bakri Ali said the state is seeking approval from the Federal Government to allow tourists from Thailand to use the Facilities Letter (FL) to enter Perlis.

"The FL will facilitate a hassle free travel for tourists from Thailand to visit Perlis," he said.
