Malaysia Airlines has revealed a special Manchester United-themed aircraft livery and announced the resumption of Brisbane flights starting November 2025. Alongside the new route, the airline will increase Asia Pacific frequencies and introduce lie-flat Business Class seats on its Boeing 737 10 aircraft, marking a first for its narrowbody fleet. These moves underscore the airline's focus on modernisation and global connectivity.
Malaysia Airlines has announced a string of strategic developments to strengthen its international network and improve customer experience. Central to this expansion is unveiling its new Manchester United Co-branded aircraft livery on the flagship Airbus A330-300. This design mixes the colours of the Malaysian flag with the English football club's iconic red. The new livery was unveiled at a special event, which Manchester United legends Dimitar Berbatov, Nemanja Vidic, and Luis Nani attended.
The airline also confirmed it will resume direct flights to Brisbane from 29 November 2025, reinstating its link to Queensland. This move supports growing trade and investment across the Australia-Asia corridor, complementing Malaysia Airlines' existing services to Sydney and Melbourne.
The carrier also introduces its new A330 Neo aircraft on select routes to Australia and New Zealand, offering upgraded cabin comfort and fuel efficiency.
In addition to the Brisbane relaunch, Malaysia Airlines is increasing its services to other regional destinations, including Auckland, Surabaya, Phuket, and Trivandrum. The airline also revealed a new business class product with lie-flat seats for its Boeing 737-10 narrowbody jets, aiming to offer greater comfort on regional routes.
Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of Malaysia Aviation Group, said the developments mark a bold step forward, aligning the airline's national identity with global ambitions.
Alongside these moves, Malaysia Airlines also introduced EnrichMoney's new payment features and updated its Economy fare tiers, signalling a broader focus on customer choice and loyalty benefits.
