Malaysia Airlines welcomes the Lunar New Year with its annual festive video

KLIA, 7 February 2018: In the spirit of Chinese New Year, Malaysia Airlines today released its much anticipated lunar New Year video, highlighting the values of Malaysian Hospitality.

Entitled “Tradition is at the heart of Malaysian Hospitality”, the 2-minute video exhibits values like love, care, compassion and warmth which constitutes a truly Malaysian experience.

The video shows a family preparing for the New Year where a grandmother explains cultural traditions to her grandchild. These traditions, passed down from one generation to another, lies at the very heart of Malaysia Airlines.

Malaysia Airlines’ Group Chief Executive Officer, Izham Ismail said “Chinese New Year is a time of joyous festivities and celebration. As Malaysians, we celebrate the diversity of our people and this is reflected in our values as a nation. These shared values of love, respect, warmth and compassion are what makes us unique and brings fond memories of Malaysia and the people. This is the nation’s greatest asset which we aim to highlight in this year’s Chinese New Year video.”

“As the national airline we live and breathe this diversity and values via our Malaysian Hospitality.  Values that are built on strong cultural and family traditions, which we fly across the world. We embody the spirit of Malaysia, because Malaysian Hospitality begins with us.”
