MATF '09 GETS GOOD RESPONSE

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 18 (Bernama) -- The Malaysia Airlines Travel Fair (MATF '09), from Feb 10-19, has received a positive interest and response from the public.

In a statement here Wednesday, Malaysia Airlines (MAS) said since the start
of the fair, it has received an overwhelming response from the markets.

"The highest sales were recorded from our travel agents in Malaysia,
Indonesia and Vietnam followed by our ticketing offices," it said.

Its senior general manager, sales, Bernard Francis, said the results
showed that there was still demand for immediate travel despite the economic
slowdown.

"It is also a tangible demonstration that people will continue to travel as
long as excellent products and services at affordable prices are offered," he
said.

MAS is offering seats at discounts of up to 70 percent off the prevailing
market fares to 55 destinations worldwide.

Customers can travel just seven days after securing their booking up
until Sept 30, 2009.
