KUCHING: Malaysia Airlines’s (MAS) first class passengers and Enrich Platinum card members will experience a new level of luxury from March 15, 2011 onwards.

EXCLUSIVE TRANSFER: Premium passengers will be given the priority transfer invitation cards during their check-in at Row D in KLIA.

According to its press release, the national carrier was set to offer an exclusive transfer service to ferry its passengers in Porsche Panameras from the main terminal building to satellite building at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to catch their flights.

The service was implemented as a temporary measure due to the KLIA Aerotrain closure until March 2011 for upgrading work.

MAS’s executive vice president of managing director office Muzzaffar Othman said, “With the Aerotrain not in service until March next year, we saw a great opportunity to provide a new experience to our premium passengers. We pleased to be able to partner with Sime Darby Auto Performance to provide the Porsches for this service.

“With this luxury transfer service, customers can go directly to gate G1 at the main terminal building and gate C1 at the satellite building for pick up and drop off. The same gates are used for both outbound and inbound passengers,” he added.

In bound passengers would obtain the invitation on board the aircraft. It was also available at the regional lounge at the main terminal building, golden lounge at the satellite building as well as the airport operations assistant at Gate G1.
