SEPANG: Malaysia Airlines unveiled a specially designed Manchester United-themed livery on its A330-300 aircraft, celebrating its ongoing role as the Official Commercial Airline Partner.
The special aircraft will carry the First Team to their next match scheduled in Hong Kong today as part of its post-season tour in Asia, showcasing a bold design that merges the airline’s iconic Malaysia flag livery with Manchester United’s iconic red - symbolising the shared values of passion, pride and global unity.

This initiative has fostered a sense of regional unity and excitement, demonstrating the power of sport to connect communities across borders.
Beyond the stadium, Malaysia Airlines engaged fans through a lively activation zone, offering interactive games, photo opportunities and exclusive a giveaway on social media to provide its social fan base the opportunity to be part of the exciting match as well as an exclusive offer to fly from any part of the Malaysia Airlines’ network to either Kuala Lumpur or Hong Kong with its signature Malaysian Hospitality.
The airline also hosted top agents, partners, employees and Enrich members with exclusive hospitality and ticket access — creating an immersive and memorable experience for all.
Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) chief commercial officer (airlines) Dersenish Aresandiran said, “We are thrilled to support Manchester United for their post-season tour and to showcase this unique livery that celebrates our role as a connector of people, cultures and passions.
