    Tourism Malaysia Celebrates the Return of British Airways’ Flights from London to Kuala Lumpur, Reinforcing Visit Malaysia 2026 Goals

    Tourism Malaysia is thrilled to celebrate the resumption of British Airways’ flights from London to Kuala Lumpur, with the first reinstated flight departing from London Heathrow on 1st April 2025 and arriving in Kuala Lumpur on 2nd April 2025. With daily flights aboard a state-of-the-art 787-9 Dreamliner between London Heathrow and Kuala Lumpur, UK travellers now have seamless access to Malaysia, with return fares starting from £574. This enhanced connectivity makes it easier than ever to explore Kuala Lumpur and beyond.
    Kuala Lumpur continues to gain recognition as a top travel destination, having been ranked 2nd in Tripadvisor’s list of Top Trending Destinations for 2025. The city, with its mix of modernity and tradition, offers world-class attractions, a dynamic culinary scene, and iconic landmarks like the Petronas Towers. Its cosmopolitan energy, combined with a rich cultural history, makes it an ideal destination for travellers seeking both excitement and relaxation.
    The timing of British Airways’ return of this direct route is highly significant, as it aligns perfectly with Malaysia’s preparations for Visit Malaysia Year 2026 (VM2026), a national tourism initiative aimed at attracting 35.6 million international visitors and generating RM147.1 billion in tourism revenue.
    The UK remains one of Malaysia’s largest European source markets, and this new route further strengthens the country’s appeal to British travellers, who are increasingly seeking meaningful, experiential holidays.
    “The UK is a key market for Malaysia, and we are thrilled to see British Airways returning to Kuala Lumpur with direct flights from London Heathrow” said Mr. Sulaiman Suip, Director of Tourism Malaysia London. “This enhanced connectivity is especially significant as we approach Visit Malaysia Year 2026, providing UK travellers with even more convenient access to Malaysia’s vibrant cities, breathtaking landscapes, and rich cultural experiences. As we continue to grow our presence in the UK market, we look forward to welcoming more travellers to explore Malaysia’s unique offerings and diverse attractions.”
    Kuala Lumpur is not just a destination in itself, but also an ideal gateway for exploring the wider attractions Malaysia has to offer. Visitors can easily travel from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi’s sun-kissed beaches, the lush rainforests of Borneo, the scenic Cameron Highlands, or the pristine shores of Redang and Tioman Islands. Malaysia is also renowned for its incredible wildlife, offering numerous opportunities to spot native species such as orangutans in Borneo’s rainforests, proboscis monkeys in Sabah, and long-tailed macaques and silvered leaf monkeys in places like Kuala Lumpur’s Batu Caves and other forested areas. Whether trekking through lush jungles, visiting wildlife sanctuaries, or exploring the country’s diverse ecosystems, Malaysia offers a perfect mix of urban excitement and natural beauty, with something to suit every type of traveller.
    With British Airways’ direct flights, UK travellers now have more convenient and affordable access to Malaysia, making it easier than ever to experience the country’s dynamic offerings and prepare for Visit Malaysia Year 2026.
