AS SOON as word got out that Firefly was spreading its wings to Sarawak and Sabah on Monday, online traffic at Firefly’s ticketing website escalated rapidly.
The buzz was all over Facebook that the airliner, a wholly-owned unit under Malaysia Airlines, was offering tickets priced as low as RM9 for travel between Jan 15 to May 31 next year.
Aside from this too-good-to-resist promotion, Sarawakians were happy over the fact that they had more travel choices.
When met at Kuching International Airport yesterday, avid traveller Awang Putra Awang Ahmad said that Firefly’s expansion was a good move and highly anticipated.
He said the people now had the choice of another low-cost carrier .
“More airlines means competition in ticket prices, so customers are bound to benefit,” he told StarMetro.
Putra, who works in the service industry, said he was excited over the air fare Firefly had to offer to compete with rival AirAsia.
“I’m planning a holiday with my family in Kuala Lumpur next year so I’m going to check out Firefly’s fares. I hope it will come up with packages for the family soon,” he said.
Lim Fung, who was travelling to Kuala Lumpur, said the promotion by Firefly was attractive, but hoped the airline would provide good service other than just cheap fares.
“Sometimes, all that a customer wants is an easy flight, and this means no long delays. I hope Firefly will give us consistency in timing as well,” said Lim, who works as a driver.
