Malaysia Airlines expands reach with SNCF rail deal

Malaysia Airlines has announced a new codeshare partnership with SNCF Voyageurs, France’s national rail operator, to offer seamless travel connections across Europe. This collaboration allows passengers flying into Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) to connect effortlessly to 28 railway destinations throughout France, integrating air and rail services into a single booking.

Under SNCF Voyageurs’ TRAIN + AIR product, the partnership aims to enhance Malaysia Airlines’ MHrail initiative, which focuses on providing a seamless end-to-end travel experience. Tickets for this integrated service are available from 10 July 2026 on Malaysia Airlines’ official website.

Bryan Foong, Chief Executive Officer of Airline Business from Malaysia Aviation Group, stated, “This partnership with SNCF Voyageurs represents a key step in advancing our broader strategy to deliver truly seamless, end-to-end connectivity for our customers across Europe.”

The agreement enables Malaysia Airlines to place its marketing code on SNCF-operated rail services, allowing customers to book rail segments as part of their itineraries via CDG. This offers a streamlined travel experience with coordinated connections and simplified transfers to key cities such as Lyon, Strasbourg, and Marseille.

This strategic move not only expands Malaysia Airlines’ network reach but also reinforces its commitment to integrated air-rail connectivity at major global gateways, including Seoul and London Heathrow. The partnership is part of Malaysia Airlines’ ongoing efforts to redefine connectivity through strategic alliances beyond traditional aviation networks.
