MASWINGS FLIGHTS FREQUENCY REDUCTION EFFECTIVE 20 FEBRUARY 2017
MASwings will be reducing its ATR flights' frequency on few selected routes in order to allow the aircraft fleet to undergo mandatory maintenance plan which is scheduled from 20th February 2017 until the end of the year.
Eight (8) ATR aircraft will be going for Heavy Maintenance Visit (HMV) in 2017. This visit is mandatory by the aircraft manufacturer to ensure the operating aircraft meets the airworthiness requirements and standards.
MASwings recently announced the refurbishment program called “Fleet Improvement Program” or FIP to improve the aircraft reliability and customer experienced.
MASwings has obtained the necessary approval from Ministry of Transportation (MOT) Malaysia to reduce flight frequency of selected routes prior to this announcement.
The flight frequency of the following routes will be reduced by one on daily basis:
| Route | Current Frequency (weekly) | After 20th Feb 2017 (weekly) | Reduction (weekly) |
|---|---|---|---|

| Kota Kinabalu – Mir | 28x | 21x | -7x |
| Miri – Labuan | 35x | 28x | -7x |
MASwings currently operates a total of 818 flights weekly to all of its ATR operated destinations. The planned reduction of flights will have minimal impact at 8.6% from the total flights currently in rotation.
Despite the frequency reduction, MASwings is confident that this temporary measures will not affect the travel plan of its customers. The remaining frequency between 14x weekly to 28x weekly into and from these destinations are still adequate to provide frequency spread and seat capacity to meet the demand of passengers travelling on these routes and beyond other MASwings’ points.
MASwings also wishes to reiterate that the scheduled maintenance program including the Fleet Improvement Program (FIP) will improve on-time performance, customer experienced and win back confidence to fly on MASwings.
In view of the frequency reduction and retiming of services arising from this exercise, MASwings have initiated reallocation exercise to affected passengers by offering options for new date and departure time or full refund at MASwings/ Malaysia Airlines ticket offices.
On-going efforts to contact affected passengers due to the cancellation and retiming of flights are currently being carried out.
