Firefly, the value-focused airline and subsidiary of Malaysia Airlines, is set to revolutionize budget travel between the Philippines and Malaysia with the launch of its highly anticipated new direct route connecting Cebu (CEB) and Kuala Lumpur (KUL). The inaugural flight is scheduled for December 2, 2025, bringing the vibrant heart of Malaysia closer than ever to travellers from Cebu.
This new route underscores Firefly’s commitment to expanding its regional network and providing accessible, low-cost options without compromising on the quality and reliability expected from the Malaysia Airlines Group.
