Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – Malaysia Airlines has recently announced the launch of its special co-branded livery alongside Manchester United. The launch follows the airlines’ announcement to return its Brisbane routes, as well as increase flight frequencies across the APAC region.
The bespoke livery, now featured on the airline’s flagship A330-300, blends the national pride of Malaysia with Manchester United’s global sporting prestige. With dynamic red lines flowing from the Malaysia flag into the club’s iconic red, the design symbolises harmony, strength, and unity between aviation and sports—two forces that inspire and connect people worldwide.
The unveiling was made even more memorable with the presence of Manchester United legends Dimitar Berbatov, Nemanja Vidić, and Luís Nani who joined the celebrations in Malaysia.
Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, group managing director of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, “This marks a bold and exciting new chapter for Malaysia Airlines, as we unite the passion of sport, the spirit of innovation, and the pride of our nation. Our partnership with Manchester United embodies shared values of excellence and global ambition, while the resumption of Brisbane flights and expanded regional connectivity reinforce our strategic focus on growth.”
He added, “With the introduction of lie-flat Business Class seats on our new Boeing 737-10 aircraft, we are redefining the travel experience for our guests. As we continue to elevate our offerings, we remain steadfast in our commitment to reimagining travel through the lens of Malaysian Hospitality, guided by our vision to be among the world’s leading airlines.”
