Malaysia Airlines Maintains Focus on Operational Consistency and Greater Flexibility
for Travellers

The airline maintained on-time performance (OTP) above 90% throughout April, marking
the second consecutive month of average OTP above the 90% level, while consistently
exceeding its 85% target since January 2026. This sustained performance reflects
ongoing operational improvements across the network, including enhancements to boarding
processes and on-ground support, contributing to a smoother and more dependable 
travel experience for customers.

Customer demand has also remained encouraging. In March, year-on-year (YoY) passenger
traffic increased by 30%, with positive momentum continuing into April as traffic
grew by 8% YoY. The sustained growth reflects stable underlying demand for travel
across key markets, even as the broader air travel environment continues to evolve.

**Bryan Foong, Chief Executive Officer of Airline Business from Malaysia Aviation
Group,** said, _"We recognise that travellers today are navigating a more uncertain
environment, and that reliability and flexibility remain important when planning
their journeys. Our focus continues to be on delivering safe and dependable operations,
while providing our customers the flexibility and support they need as travel patterns
continue to evolve. The operational consistency we have seen in recent months, together
with continued customer demand across key markets, is an encouraging reflection 
of the steady progress being made across the airline. Above all, our priority is
to ensure customers feel supported and confident throughout their journey with us."_

Recognising that travellers are increasingly seeking both assurance and value, Malaysia
Airlines has introduced its "Now Boarding" campaign across key markets. The campaign
brings together customer-focused offerings designed to support more flexible and
confident travel decisions.

Central to this is the airline’s Flex fare family, which allows unlimited flight
changes with no extra fees, providing greater peace of mind should plans evolve.
For families planning their holidays, Malaysia Airlines also offers child fares 
alongside dedicated onboard activity packs for young travellers, helping create 
a more enjoyable and seamless travel experience for families. Customers who book
directly via the Malaysia Airlines website or official mobile app can also enjoy
exclusive benefits*, including 5% savings on flights for Enrich members, up to AUD
75 off with Amex and PayPal Pay in 4 services, ensuring they get more value out 
of their journey.

The airline’s progress is further reflected in the continued growth of its brand
value. In the latest Airlines 50 2026 report by Brand Finance, Malaysia Airlines
recorded the highest brand value growth among Malaysian carriers. Brand value increased
by 27% to USD771 million, with the airline climbing four places to rank 41st globally,
supported by sustained recovery and a continued focus on delivering a premium, customer-
centric experience.

Malaysia Airlines will continue building on these efforts as it strengthens the 
overall travel experience for customers across its network.
