Malaysia Airlines Becomes Full Member of oneworld

[HD videos below] Malaysia Airlines today became a full member of the oneworld airline alliance.

Malaysia Airlines substantially expands the oneworld network in South East Asia, where it strengthens the alliance’s connectivity between many key business cities in Asia and other parts of the world, benefitting customers with an expanded global network and increased competition.

Malaysia Airlines’ network is covered by oneworld’s extensive range of alliance fares and sales products, including the new Visit Malaysia pass, which offers foreign visitors discounted fares throughout the airline’s domestic network in conjunction with a flight to Malaysia with any oneworld carrier.

Malaysia Airlines’ addition expands oneworld’s global coverage to 842 destinations in 156 countries, served by some 9,000 departures a day operated by a combined fleet of some 2,500 aircraft, carrying nearly 340 million passengers a year, with annual revenues of US$ 110 billion.

“Malaysia Airlines, like Finnair, is a very established and respected airline with a great history of quality, and they’re joining oneworld for the same reason we did,” said Finnair CEO, Mika Vehviläinen. “When we pull together and pool our considerable talents and resources, we all become stronger and able to deliver more services, benefits and value to our customers than we could by going it alone. I’m very pleased to extend a warm welcome to our friends and colleagues from Malaysia Airlines.”

The 125 million members of the established oneworld airlines’ frequent flyer programs, can now earn and redeem awards and tier status points and receive all other oneworld benefits on Malaysia Airlines.

Additionally, to celebrate the addition of the new recruit, members of oneworld loyalty programs will receive double the normal mileage awards when flying on Malaysia Airlines between 15 February and 15 April 2013, on tickets bought from today to 15 April 2013.
