Malaysia Airlines operates one variant of the Airbus A330: the Airbus A330-300EX (15 in the fleet).This aircraft is
used to fly short-to-medium-haul routes, such as Kunming, Beijing and Chennai. Malaysia Airlines owns all A330
aircraft, and the first was delivered in 1995. Their Golden Club Class interiors and seats have been refurbished.

Airbus A380
Malaysia Airlines signed a contract with Airbus to purchase 6 Airbus A380s in 2003. The airline expected to receive
its first Airbus A380 in 2007, but delivery was delayed due to manufacturing problems. On 3 October 2006, upon
completion of a review of the A380 program, the deliveries were pushed approximately two years back to 2009.
Malaysia Airlines and Airbus agreed on compensation and a new schedule for the deliveries on 31 March 2008,
considering the new overall plans of the airline, with the deliveries to be made in 2011.[1] However, Airbus
postponed the delivery of the first A380 a second time. The first A380 is now planned to be delivered in June 2012
and will feature all-new livery to highlight MAS' 'wau' kite design element. The first A380 commercial flight
commenced on 1 July 2012 flying from to London with flights to Sydney following on 25 September 2012.
The A380 has 8 seats in first class at the front of the lower deck, 66 business class seats on the upper deck and a total
of 420 economy seats across both decks, with 350 on the lower deck and 70 upstairs.[2] Children under 12 will not be
allowed to travel in the upper deck economy cabin. On 28 June 2012, Malaysian first A380 touchdown at Kuala
Lumpur International Airport for the second time officially painted with its new livery of Malaysia Airlines and
starts operating in 29 June 2012 for its first flight to London in the morning.

destinations. The 737-800 order was announced at the Farnborough Air Show on July 16, 2008. The 737-800 aircraft
will enables much longer ranges to be flown using Boeing 737-series aircraft. In February 2009, Malaysia Airlines
received two leased 737-800s; and another one in March. Malaysia Airlines has taken delivery of its first Boeing
737-800 on 1 November 2010. New Malaysia Airlines Boeing 737-800 aircraft will be painted in new Malaysia

maximum flight range of 12,779 km (6,900 nm). Malaysia Airlines
owns all of its 17 777-200ERs. In 1997, the airline also became the
record-holder of the world's longest non-commercial non-stop flight,
from Boeing Field in Seattle to Kuala Lumpur, flying eastward,
passing over the European and African continents, breaking the Great
