Malaysia Airlines has ordered 20 ATR 72-500s to be used by its subsidiaries, Firefly and MASwings. The deal is worth some US$ 650 million. Firefly will take delivery of its first ATR aircraft in 2008, while the first ATR for MASwings will be delivered in 2009. The ATR 72-500s of Firefly, configured with 72 seats, are intended for the expansion of its network, as the airline establishes its hubs in Kuala Lumpur (Subang), Penang, Johor Bahru and Kota Kinabalu as it progressively replaces its current Fokker 50 aircraft. With its new 68-seat ATR 72-500s, MASwings will expand its services in the states of Sabah and Sarawak.
