Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), the parent company of Malaysia Airlines, announced a regional partnership with Singaporean Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL) platform hoolah to provide a seamless and convenient payment option for travellers.

Travellers in Malaysia, Singapore and soon Hong Kong, can now book their getaway with MAG’s main airline, Malaysia Airlines online and pay for their flights via hoolah’s flexible three-month, interest-free payment option.

This partnership comes at a time where travel is picking up in Singapore as its borders are already open to 30 countries/regions including Australia, South Korea, and Switzerland under the Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) scheme, and the anticipated soon-to-launch VTLs with Greece and Vietnam.

Lau Yin May, Group Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer of Malaysia Airlines said,

“We are excited to collaborate with hoolah as it provides another payment option and flexibility for customers to book their flights with Malaysia Airlines.

 

This marks our first-of-its-kind partnership with a BNPL provider in Asia, and it couldn’t be timelier as we anticipate growing demands for travel with the reopening of our borders soon.”

Arvin Singh, CEO and Co-founder of hoolah said,

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Malaysian Aviation Group in Asia and support their business objectives as we push forward together to accelerate the recovery and growth of the travel and tourism industry.

 

As countries in the region gradually open up their borders, we look forward to making travel more accessible and affordable for travellers, along with the flexibility to pay for their holiday over time.”
