KUALA LUMPUR, April 2 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Airlines (MAS) now offers easier

Customers arriving or departing Stockholm, Gothenburg (Sweden), Oslo,
Sandefjord-Olso, Bergen, Stavanger, Brussels (Belgium), Copenhagen (Denmark) and

Malaysia Airlines said it already served these routes through a partnership
with KLM Royal Dutch Airline (KLM) but previously, these tickets could only be
purchased at MAS ticketing offices or travel agents.

"Travelling with Malaysia Airlines to Europe is even easier now that
customers can book the code-share tickets online," said its Senior General
Manager, Network and Revenue Management, Dr Amin Khan in a statement Friday.

Malaysia Airlines said it would soon make available online the European and
Japanese destinations that the airline is partnering with Alitalia and All
Nippon Airways.

"This is also in line with our hub-and-spoke strategy to improve feeder
traffic into our trunk routes. This partnership will further enhance our
earnings," he said.

Malaysia Airlines offers daily flights from Kuala Lumpur to Amsterdam and
from Amsterdam, KLM connects to Brussels 21 times weekly.

It also connects to Stockholm, Gothenburg, Copenhagen, Helsinki and
Stavanger 14 times weekly and to Oslo, Sandefjord-Olso and Bergen, seven times
a week.
