Malaysia Airlines has introduced free inflight for all passengers on selected aircraft.
The service will initially be available on 20 A350, A330-200 and A330-300 aircraft, before being rolled out to selected narrowbody planes in phases.
All passengers on these aircraft will be able to connect to inflight wifi for free, regardless of cabin class or loyalty tier.
The move follows the provision of free wifi on the above aircraft for Business Suite, business class and Enrich Platinum passengers earlier this year.
