Malaysia welcomes tourists from China and expects more direct flights from other Chinese cities, said Tiong King Sing.
Ammar said there would be more direct and charter flights from China to Malaysia through strategic collaborations between various airlines as Malaysia targets 5 million arrivals from China in 2023.
The Xiamen Airlines new direct flight will fly four times a week on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday, bringing more convenience to the people of the two countries by bridging the economic and cultural exchanges and investment, Tourism Malaysia said in a statement.
