The name Firefly (in Mandarin fei ying; in Bahasa Malaysia Kunang-Kunang) was chosen to depict the airline’s characteristics, which are agility, brilliance, charm, and fun. Being unique and evocative, Firefly is easily recognisable and has the potential to grow and command a brand premium in the communities it serves.

Agile

Translated as an act that is well-coordinated, quick, active and lively, this is precisely the key characteristics we want to adopt. We aim for speed and ease of movement in managing our business as well as providing our services to ensure the well-being of our passengers.

Brilliant

Firefly is positioned as a brilliant light that captures the imagination. We engage that brilliance and imagination in our continuous effort in planning, leading, organising and operating our business to create the best community airline the world can offer.

Charm

Service is about charm and that’s what we strive to provide; to offer you a charming flying experience that you won’t forget and will keep you coming back for more!

Fun

As a young, growing organisation, we make it a point to align our goals with the right attitude that can be spelt in three letters: f.u.n. We adopt an upbeat working environment to produce fresh ideas with substance. A happy worker is a productive worker, and that is reflected in our service to our passengers.

To think of Firefly is to think of top-notch service! Add to that flights from strategic airports in Subang and Penang, Firefly passengers will have options to plan journeys that suit their schedule accordingly.

Turboprop aircraft experience

Firefly currently operates a fleet of 12 twin turboprop aircrafts which comprises of ATR 72-500 aircrafts. Our ATR 72 series are optimized from the start for efficiency and passenger comfort and most importantly, safety and reliability.

Technologically advanced, fuel-efficient and eco-friendly, the ATR 72 series offers the lowest seat-mile cost in its category. These aircrafts can fly up to 2.5 hours with a maximum range on 890Nm without refueling on a full passenger load.

The ATR 72-500 secondary structures are extensively made of corrosion-resistant composite material, and it uses carbon fiber for its outer wings and a composite tail, thus reducing weight further. A lighter aircraft translates to lower fuel consumption, which is also better for the environment.

The ATR 72 series also offer spacious cabins with plush leather seats and soft ambient lighting for a more comfortable journey. Firefly passengers will also enjoy complimentary refreshment served by attentive flight attendants, 20kg checked-baggage allowance and assigned seating at the cost of an all-inclusive fare.

Boeing 737-800 Jets

Firefly will also have an addition of three B737-800 to the family. This variant is the most common variant of the 737NG and is the most widely used narrowbody aircraft, making up over 25% of the worldwide large commercial airliner fleet. The sheer volume indicates, much like Firefly, reliability and stability, to give our passengers ease of mind when travelling.

The jet has a range of up to 7000 km, with cruising speed of over 900 km/h. They use the high bypass engine (CFM-56) which burns much less fuel than a regular jet engine, hence consistent with our effort in reducing the impact towards the environment.

The 737 series seats are arranged in such a way that the passenger’s comfort is top priority, complemented by the service of our steward and stewardess which are second to none. Various extra services are also available to maximize the flight experience even further, all at a very reasonable price.
