Malaysia Airlines unveils your contactless journey

Malaysia Airlines has revealed the future of the contactless journey for their passengers, detailing some of the innovative features soon to be introduced. These features are a response to travellers’ expectations for seamless, hygienic and safe travel in the new normal.

This latest initiative follows the airline’s recent introduction of the Digital Travel Health Pass, currently under development. The Pass will help passengers enjoy a safe and streamlined journey as global travel resumes.

The contactless features set to transform passengers’ journey start from home from the point of booking, with creation and customisation of bookings including selection of:

• preferred meals
• seats
• other services

through integration of enhanced features on Malaysia Airlines’ mobile app.
