Good news for KUL, especially with Emirates' continued growth and Qatar operating the larger 77W in 2010.

It is also rumoured that Malaysia Airlines may be planning to serve Damascus. Other routes mooted include Riyadh and Kuwait (a return), although it is likely MAS will continue to code-share with Etihad to AUH and Qatar to Doha for the time being.
