“This momentous milestone not only elevates our fleet to new heights but also symbolizes our unwavering commitment to providing exceptional service and unforgettable travel experiences,” the airline said in its post on X. 


Following the launch flight, Malaysia Airlines plans to use the aircraft on routes across Asia and the Pacific, and select routes to the Middle East.
