Malaysia Airlines and SAUDIA, both their respective nation’s national flag carriers, have entered into a new codeshare agreement.

When the agreement begins, the MH flight code seen on Malaysia Airlines flights will also be seen on selected SAUDIA flights from Kuala Lumpur to Jeddah and Riyadh.

Similarly, the SV flight code seen on SAUDIA flights will begin to appear on Malaysia Airlines flights from the nation's capital to several worldwide destinations, including Sydney, Melbourne and Penang.

Pending regulatory approval, these codeshare operations were due to begin on December 15, and when they do, passengers will be able to take advantage of seamless connections from, or in either of the respective airlines home countries.
