Malaysia Airlines has announced it will resume flights between Darwin and Kuala Lumpur, almost 11-years since the carrier suspended flights on the route.
Commencing November this year, the airline will utilise its B737-800 on five weekly services between the two cities.
NT Chief Minister Adam Giles said the airline’s return is a “great vote of confidence” and reflects ongoing work to attract international carriers.
Additionally, the Chief Minister expects the service to strengthen ties with the growing Asia market and Malaysia.
The five services per week will add an extra 800 additional inbound weekly seats to the Territory.
Malaysia Airlines is also the third international airline to serve Darwin, following Silk Air and Philippine Airlines.
