Malaysia Airlines and Qantas have announced a new codeshare partnership, promising travelers' better connectivity, more benefits, and a smoother travel experience across Australia, Malaysia, and beyond.
Building on their strong partnership through the One World alliance, Malaysia Airlines will now add its 'MH' code to 18 domestic routes operated by Qantas in Australia. This move ensures seamless connections from major international gateways to cities like Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, and Launceston.
At the same time, Qantas will add its 'QF' code to Malaysia Airlines flights connecting Kuala Lumpur with major Australian cities like Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney, as well as routes to Singapore and popular Malaysian spots such as Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Langkawi, and Penang.
Malaysia Airlines is gearing up for a major expansion in the Australian market later this year. Starting November 29th, the airline will resume flights to Brisbane with five weekly services. Additionally, it will ramp up flights to Melbourne and Sydney to three daily services, beginning October 30th and 31st, respectively.
Existing routes to Perth and Adelaide will also see enhanced frequencies, with Perth increasing from 12 to 14 weekly flights from the 1st of December, and Adelaide rising from five to seven weekly flights from Feb 1, 2026.
Malaysia Aviation Group managing director Datuk Captain Izham Ismail said, “Our partnership with Qantas marks an important step forward as we strengthen Malaysia Airlines’ presence in Australia, a key market in our long-term strategy. Australia has long been a core part of our network, and our recent investments – including the deployment of the A330neo, increase in flight frequencies, and the resumption of services to Brisbane – reflect our commitment to meeting growing demand while enhancing our premium offering in this market. This partnership supports our broader strategy for sustainable growth, working alongside our partners to deliver a seamless travel experience that puts our passengers at the centre of everything we do.”
Qantas International CEO Cam Wallace said, “As one of our One World partners in Asia, we’re pleased to deepen our relationship with Malaysia Airlines, making it easier for Qantas customers to travel to Malaysia while enjoying frequent flyer rewards and premium service.”
