Malaysia Airlines is a multi-award-winning five-star airline, offering the only non-stop service between London and Kuala Lumpur with its twice-daily A380 Superjumbo flights.

On 1 February 2013, Malaysia Airlines joined the world’s premier global airline alliance Oneworld, expanding the alliance’s network in South East Asia and adding Brunei to the Oneworld map.

In 2012, Malaysia Airlines became one of a select group of airlines to receive a prestigious 5-star ranking with SKYTRAX World Airline Awards, retaining the rating in 2013. The airline also received accolades for ‘World’s Best Airline Crew’ in 2012 and for ‘Best Airline Signature Dish’ in 2012 and 2013 for its traditional Satay dish served in the Business and First class cabins. Last year, Malaysia Airlines was also voted the ‘Leading Airline to Asia’ in the World Airline Awards.

Since November 2012, Malaysia Airlines replaced its Boeing 747 daily flights from London Heathrow to Kuala Lumpur International Airport for a twice-daily A380 Superjumbo direct service. The A380 offers UK passengers the latest in-flight comfort and technology on the most spacious and efficient aircraft in the skies.
