Malaysia Airlines and Google Gemini are showcasing cutting-edge AI technology called Gemini for the first time at a physical demonstration in Malaysia at MAG’s Arena during the MATTA Fair on 6-8 September.
Google Gemini is known for its advanced capabilities in natural language processing and predictive analytics and visitors to the fair can visualise their dream destinations through an AI-powered image generator and receive personalised trip itineraries using Google Gemini’s advanced capabilities.
At the MATTA fair, the airline also announced the launch of direct flights to Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG) in Paris, commencing on 22 March 2025. The development represents Malaysia Airlines’ 68th destination, reinforcing its position as the gateway to Asia and beyond. Tickets will be available for sale from 6 September 2024 and the service will operate four weekly flights from 22 March 2025 directly from KL international Airport Terminal 1 using the A350-900 aircraft, and starting daily flights from 29 March 2025.
Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, “Our expansion into Europe marks a significant milestone for Malaysia Airlines. With the arrival of additional widebody aircraft starting this Quarter 4, we are ready to bring this long-awaited city back into our network. While the European market is highly competitive, we see tremendous potential for this route to attract key travellers, not just from Malaysia but also from neighbouring regions.
“By launching direct services from Kuala Lumpur to Paris, we reaffirm our position as the flagship airline and strengthen our role as the gateway to Asia and beyond. This route will be served by our state-of-the-art A350-900 aircraft, which already operates on key routes like London and Doha, delivering a world-class travel experience to our passengers.”
