Malaysia to Reopen Its Borders to International Travelers on April

Malaysia Airlines has hailed the reopening of Malaysia’s borders to international travelers, which began on 1st April.

This comes as the pandemic enters an endemic phase in Malaysia, strengthening the country’s aviation and tourism sectors, which have been virtually closed to foreign visitors for the past two years.

Fully vaccinated passengers will no longer be needed to quarantine upon arrival if they perform a PCR test two days before departure and a fast antigen test within 24 hours of arriving in Malaysia, according to the new rules.

Foreign visitors will no longer be required to obtain a MyTravelPass permit and will be able to enter the nation if they have completed a pre-departure travel form.

Daniel Bainbridge, Malaysia Airlines’ regional director for the United Kingdom and Europe, said: “We are thrilled to hear we now have an official date for the full reopening of Malaysia’s borders across all its destinations, which has been long-awaited by all.

“As the only airline to fly non-stop from London to Kuala Lumpur, we look forward to welcoming passengers onboard and helping them discover the diverse flora and fauna, glorious beaches, tantalising cuisines and vibrant cities of Malaysia.

“We have been preparing for this significant milestone for a long time and have already increased our flight capacity to provide better connections across Malaysia and onwards to south-east Asia and Australasia.”
