On codeshare with Xiamen Airlines, Malaysia Airlines said it would be operated for two routes, namely the Xiamen route, which would be operated by Malaysia Airlines and Xiamen Airlines and the Fuzhou route, which will be operated solely by Xiamen Airlines.
Malaysia Airlines Group Chief Executive Officer, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the codeshare with Xiamen Airlines was part of the airline’s strategy to develop commercial cooperation with key airlines of the world to expand its network offering.
“With 55 destinations, Xiamen Airlines is an established airline that holds a major market share of travellers travelling between Fuzhou and Kuala Lumpur.
“Malaysia Airlines can leverage on this codeshare to give our guests more options between Xiamen and Kuala Lumpur,” he said.
