Malaysia Airlines is set to fly from Kuala Lumpur to Brisbane from 29 November 2025, marking a restoration of direct connectivity between Malaysia and Queensland.

The carrier will operate five times per week, with A330-300 aircraft, delivering 75,000 inbound seats to Queensland annually and generating $54 million for the local economy in the first year.

“We are thrilled to reinstate our services to Brisbane, reconnecting Malaysia and Queensland and expanding our presence in Australia,” said Malaysia Aviation Group Managing Director, Datuk Captain Izham Ismail.

“As the national carrier, this route reaffirms our commitment to connecting travellers seamlessly across our extensive network through Kuala Lumpur – positioning Malaysia Airlines as the Gateway to Asia and Beyond.

“Whether flying for leisure, business, or trade, we look forward to welcoming passengers onboard with our signature Malaysian Hospitality, while offering convenient access to key destinations across Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and Europe.”

Brisbane Airport CEO Gert-Jan de Graaff added: “We are delighted to welcome back Malaysia Airlines and the additional connectivity it brings to Brisbane.

“The airline boasts a robust Southeast Asian network, strong connections into Europe, and serves 10 Indian hubs, where demand is growing.”
