Starting October 1, Malaysia Airlines will offer two weekly non stop flights from Kuala Lumpur to Cape Town.
The service has been established in recognition of the demand for flights to and from Malaysia.

Malaysia Airlines will also increase frequencies on MH203 and MH204 between Johannesburg and Kuala Lumpur beginning in October. Currently, the above flights operate non-stop twice a week between Kuala Lumpur and Johannesburg. From October, a third weekly flight will be added and flight schedules will be revised from Tuesday and Friday to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday respectively.
