Malaysia adds A350 to LON

Malaysia Airlines has scheduled two extra Kuala Lumpur–London Heathrow round trips in April 2026, and both will use the Airbus A350-900. (aeroroutes.com) The added flights are set for April 18 and April 22, 2026. AeroRoutes, which tracks airline schedule filings, lists them as MH7006 from Kuala Lumpur to London and MH7005 on the return to Malaysia. (aeroroutes.com) The outbound timings in the filing are just after midnight from Kuala Lumpur, with arrivals in London at 7:00 a.m. on April 18 and 7:25 a.m. on April 22. The return flights leave London at 1:10 p.m. and 9:30 a.m., landing in Kuala Lumpur the next day. (aeroroutes.com) Malaysia Airlines’ own schedule page says the timetable shown is based on the airline’s filings and can change without notice. That makes this an early look at planned capacity rather than a final guarantee of operation. (malaysiaairlines.com) The aircraft choice matters because the Airbus A350-900 is Malaysia Airlines’ long-haul flagship. On its fleet pages, the carrier says the jet offers widebody cabins and complimentary in-flight Wi-Fi, features aimed at premium long-distance travel. (malaysiaairlines.com, malaysiaaviationgroup.com.my) London is one of Malaysia Airlines’ key Europe links from Kuala Lumpur, so adding A350-operated frequencies in April points to a short-term capacity increase on a core intercontinental route. The move comes through extra flights rather than a new destination or a fleet-wide schedule rewrite. (aeroroutes.com, malaysiaairlines.com) For travelers, the practical takeaway is narrow but clear: Malaysia Airlines has filed two more London trips in mid-April, and both are planned on the airline’s A350-900 rather than a smaller or older long-haul type.
