Malaysia Airlines receives IATA<br />
Fast Travel Green certificate<br />
IATA’s Fast Travel Programme<br />
ranked MAS on the usage of<br />
six areas of passenger travel<br />
which includes check-in, bags<br />
ready-to-go, document check,<br />
flight re-booking, self-boarding<br />
and bag recovery. Malaysia<br />
Airlines earned the Green<br />
ranking by meeting five of the<br />
requirements which are check-in, bags ready-to-go, flight<br />
re-booking, self-boarding and bag recovery.<br />
The country's national airline became the first Malaysian carrier<br />
to receive the International Air Transport Association (IATA)<br />
Fast Travel Green certificate.<br />
The certificate shows Malaysia Airlines' efforts in making<br />
passengers’ travel more flexible and convenient via its selfservice<br />
facilities.<br />
IATA’s Area Manager for Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei,<br />
Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Maldives, Sunil Chopra<br />
presented the certificate to Malaysia Airlines’ Chief<br />
Executive Officer, Peter Bellew at a ceremony held at the<br />
airport on February 22.<br />
Bellew said the achievement marked a great milestone towards<br />
improving overall customer experience with the airlines.<br />
aims to bring in<br />
RM15 million sales from its e-wallet<br />
Firefly is aiming to generate RM15 million of sales from its<br />
online 'FY' e-wallet as it has already brought in RM1 million<br />
in sales from 115 registered accounts and across 1,000<br />
active users.<br />
Since its soft launch in December, Firefly Chief Executive<br />
Officer, Ignatius Ong said the e-wallet option is made<br />
available to provide convenience for customers in booking<br />
their tickets online.<br />
He said the airline recorded a softer demand in 2016 due to<br />
poor ringgit value. As a result, the airline's passenger target<br />
is 1.6 million this year compared to 1.8 million achieved last<br />
year. Firefly also reduced its fleet to six aircraft from 12 after<br />
recording only 60 percent load for its aircraft in 2016.<br />
On top of the prepaid amount, customers who purchase the<br />
e-wallet will receive value-added cash bonuses.<br />
The e-wallet is open for all individual<br />
purchases with expiration date for each<br />
category varying between three to six months<br />
from the purchase date.<br />
Ong said this was a strategy to move forward to entice<br />
customers and passengers to fly with Firefly.<br />
