Malaysia Airlines boosts brand value by 27%

Malaysia Airlines has announced a continued focus on operational consistency and customer flexibility, achieving an on-time performance (OTP) above 90% throughout April 2026. This marks the second consecutive month the airline has surpassed its 85% OTP target, reflecting improvements in boarding processes and on-ground support. The airline also reported a 30% year-on-year increase in passenger traffic in March, with an additional 8% growth in April.

Bryan Foong, Chief Executive Officer of Airline Business from Malaysia Aviation Group, stated, “We recognise that travellers today are navigating a more uncertain environment, and that reliability and flexibility remain important when planning their journeys.”

In response to evolving travel needs, Malaysia Airlines has launched the “Now Boarding” campaign, which includes flexible fare options and value-added benefits. The Flex fare family allows unlimited flight changes without extra fees, whilst child fares and onboard activity packs enhance family travel experiences. Exclusive benefits are available for bookings made through the airline’s website or app, including savings for Enrich members and cashback offers.

The airline’s brand value has increased by 27% to $771m, according to the Brand Finance Airlines 50 2026 report, with Malaysia Airlines climbing four places to rank 41st globally. This growth is attributed to the airline’s focus on delivering a premium, customer-centric experience.

Malaysia Airlines plans to build on these efforts to further enhance the travel experience across its network.
