PENANG’s booming healthcare travel industry has led Firefly to introduce Penang-Medan-Banda Aceh flight routes using Boeing 737 jetliners to cater to rising demand.

To reward Indonesian travellers who have flown here with Firefly to seek healthcare services, Penang Adventist Hospital has come up with special promotions for its Wellness Screening Programme.
