Firefly began operating trips from Subang to Seletar in April 2019, but were suspended in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Passengers on the Firefly flights between Kuala Lumpur and Singapore will get complimentary 20kg baggage allowance, fast check-ins and boarding, as well as refreshments on the plane. 

Those who wish to get more baggage space, unlimited flight changes, priority boarding, seat selection and travel insurance can do so by paying additional fares. 

Mr Philip See, CEO of Firefly, said that Singapore has become one of the “important destinations” for the budget airline as it connects passengers for leisure and business. 

“This recommencement will be to connect passengers from both countries, whilst enhancing the economy via the tourism industry,” he added.  

The Seletar Airport boasts a two-story terminal spanning 10,000 sqm with four check-in counters in the departure hall, one food and beverage outlet in the public area, and 1 currency exchange machine.
