greetings and welcome to
FireFlyz
, the brand new in-flight
magazine that caters to travellers of
Firefly.
Firefly operates within the
Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand
Growth triangle, besides providing
air linkages between Malaysia and
Singapore.
We truly hope that our coverage of lifestyle, leisure and travel will
delight your senses and engage the intellect. This inaugural issue
marks a turning point for us, and for you too our dear passengers. For
we make it our aim to put you at ease and put a smile as wide as the
oceans on your face, as you take to the skies with us.
We view the world through “pink frosted glasses” to bring you a
reading experience to set that mellow, reflective and peaceful mood
for your journey up in the clouds with us. In this issue, we bring you
a wealth of good reads from a jaunt up in Cameron Highlands, a spin
in the new Volkswagen Beetle or even a chat with former F1 driver
Alex Yoong. Besides, you might find interest in our featured travel
destinations such as Ipoh and idyllic Perhentian Kecil.
Also, be sure to all check out our feature interview with Maya Karin
– the darling of Malaysian show business.
To all our readers, we wish you a pleasant travelling experience filled
with many happy memories and a safe and wonderful journey ahead.
