Wayfarer TV: the best of Paris as Malaysia Airlines launches new flights from Kuala Lumpur

by James Wilkinson

Malaysia Airlines is set to launch new direct flights to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris, marking a key milestone in the carrier’s European expansion.

Services from Kuala Lumpur will commence on March 22, 2025, and Paris will become Malaysia Airlines’ 68th destination on the carrier’s global network.

“Our expansion into Europe marks a significant milestone for Malaysia Airlines,” said Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) Managing Director, Datuk Captain Izham Ismail.

“With the arrival of additional widebody aircraft starting this Quarter 4, we are ready to bring this long-awaited city back into our network.

“While the European market is highly competitive, we see tremendous potential for this route to attract key travellers, not just from Malaysia but also from neighbouring regions.

“By launching direct services from Kuala Lumpur to Paris, we reaffirm our position as the flagship airline and strengthen our role as the gateway to Asia and beyond.

“This route will be served by our state-of-the-art A350-900 aircraft, which already operates on key routes like London and Doha, delivering a world-class travel experience to our passengers.”

Tickets are now on sale with an introductory all-in return fare of AUD$1,599 and the service will operate four weekly flights from 22 March 2025, operating directly from KL international Airport Terminal 1 using the A350-900 aircraft.

Daily flights will then commence between the cities from March 29, 2025.
