British Airways (BA) will resume direct daily
flights from Kuala Lumpur to London from May 27, 2015, after suspending
services to Kuala Lumpur in 2001 as global travel slowed after 9/11.
The service will be operated by a four-cabin
Boeing 777-200ER, featuring 12 seats in first class, 48 in Club World business
class, 32 in World Traveller Plus premium economy class, and a further 127 in
World Traveller economy class.
Flights will arrive at and depart from
London’s Heathrow Terminal 5. BA034 will leave Kuala Lumpur at 23.05 and
arrive in London at 05.25 the next morning. BA033 will depart Heathrow at
20.15, arriving into Kuala Lumpur at 16.00 the next day.
Jamie Cassidy, BA’s area general manager for
Asia-Pacific, Middle East and Africa, said in a press release: “It’s wonderful
to be back in Malaysia. We are starting the new flights in response to strong
customer demand for direct flights to Kuala Lumpur.”

Ghazali, managing director of Malaysia Airports, added: “I greatly welcome the
return of BA to Malaysia. This announcement underlines the strength and
vibrancy of the air travel market between the UK and Malaysia, and I believe
that this new route of BA will bring about positive impact of great proportions
to both countries from the economics, political, social and cultural
standpoints.”
