Malaysia Airlines to Introduce Third Daily Kuala Lumpur-Doha Service from 30 June 2026

 

Malaysia Airlines will further enhance connectivity between Malaysia and the Middle East with the introduction of a third daily non-stop service between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Doha (DOH), effective 30 June 2026. This additional frequency builds on the airline’s existing twice-daily operations, increasing the total to 21x flights weekly, reflecting sustained demand for travel between Asia, the Middle East, and beyond.
 

The expanded service reinforces Malaysia Airlines’ access to over 120 codeshare destinations through Kuala Lumpur and Doha. Via Hamad International Airport, passengers will enjoy improved connectivity from Asia and Australasia to key European, Middle Eastern, African, and American destinations, while Malaysia Airlines’ increased frequencies from Australia further support seamless westbound and eastbound travel.
 

Bryan Foong, Chief Executive Officer of Airline Business from Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, “The introduction of our third daily service to Doha underscores the strong performance of this route and the strategic importance of our partnership with Qatar Airways. By expanding capacity, we are enhancing access to Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Americas via Hamad International Airport, while leveraging our growing Australian network to support more seamless east–west travel. This expansion strengthens our global connectivity and underscores our commitment to offering customers greater flexibility, and a more integrated travel experience across key global markets.”
