Malaysia Airlines will set up Economy and Business Class cabin displays at next month’s MATTA Fair, where visitors can view the seats before deciding where to fly.

The airline will also offer fares of up to 25% off selected Malaysia Airlines and Firefly flights.

Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) said its MAG Arena will occupy about 46,000 sq ft of space at the venue.

The pavilion will include cabin displays, travel technology, airline promotions and the inaugural Destination Parade.

MAG chief commercial officer of airline business Dersenish Aresandiran said tourism boards and cultural representatives from destinations across its network will take part in the parade.

Visitors can also take part in sports-related activities involving Manchester United legends, Johor Darul Ta’zim players and national footballers.

Details of access and appearances will be announced through Malaysia Airlines’ social-media channels.

Enrich members will receive priority access from 1 to 2 September, with an additional 5% discount on bookings.

Other offers cover seat selection, extra baggage and upgrade bids, which allow Economy Class passengers to bid for a Business Class seat.

Holiday packages will also be available through Journify, Malaysia Airlines’ travel marketplace, and MHholidays, its holiday-package platform.

MAG said its airline promotions will also be offered online.

306 Organisations, No More Exhibition Space
