Malaysia Airlines Unveils Its Newly Refreshed B737-800 NG Aircraft

Malaysia Airlines today unveiled its newly refreshed B737-800 NG aircraft, which boasts a new and premium cabin experience with truly unique features. One feels at ease 30,000 feet above the sky as these refreshed B737-800 NG will also debut, the next generation wireless in-flight entertainment called MHstudio which gives guests complete control and flexibility to stream content.

The newly refreshed cabin is scheduled to take to the skies end of July 2022 and will be progressively rolled out to more domestic and regional destinations as more of the 38 refurbished aircraft are completed. The wireless in-flight entertainment, leaner seats, and soft cabin dividers made of lightweight materials contribute significantly to the airline’s ongoing sustainability efforts in which the aircraft fuel burn per passenger will improve by 8%, resulting in a lower carbon footprint on the planet.

Group Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer of Malaysia Airlines, Lau Yin May, said: “We are thrilled to roll out the newly refreshed B737-800 NG, which will deliver future travel experiences through innovative features from seats to highly customizable inflight entertainment while staying true to our roots by incorporating Malaysian elements in the overall interior cabin design. 

The cabin refurbishment exercise began in 2021, a bold step taken by the airline in response to feedback and suggestions received through customer surveys and various focus group sessions in 2020 to better understand the needs of our customers. This demonstrates Malaysia Airlines’ commitment to adapt to changing consumer needs and in improving the overall customer experience in the post-pandemic era. We are pleased to share that our in-flight entertainment is a game changer offering extensive media content, including award-winning local and international movies and TV series, as well as in-flight shopping. All of these are done to give our guests a taste of the warmth and hospitality that Malaysia Airlines is known for whenever they travel with us.”

“It is becoming increasingly important that we do everything with sustainability in mind. The all-new features of our refreshed B737-800 NG fleet will reduce our carbon footprint from the reduction of the weight of each aircraft – with the much lighter seats, use of soft cabin dividers and moving away from seatback screens to offer innovative in-flight entertainment features allowing for wireless streaming on board at their convenience,” added Yin May.
