On May 23, 2023, Malaysia Airlines relocated its check-in counter at Singapore Changi Airport from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2. This change enables Malaysia Airlines passengers to check in at Row 6, Level 2 of the departure hall in Terminal 2. Passengers eligible for lounge access can utilise the SATS Premier Lounge located on Level 3 of Terminal 2.
The operational timings of the check-in counter remain unchanged, opening three hours before the scheduled flight departure and closing 60 minutes before the scheduled departure time. To save time at the airport, passengers are encouraged to check in online using the airline’s mobile app or website.
Starting from June 8, 2023, Malaysia Airlines will introduce a redesigned version of its mobile app, which is available for download on the Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and Huawei App Gallery. If you had previously checked in using the old app, it is important to perform a fresh check-in using the new app in order to generate your boarding pass.
The Aerotrain services at Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s Terminal 1 have been temporarily suspended as part of the airport’s Aerotrain replacement program. In the meantime, Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad provides 24/7 shuttle bus services as an alternative mode of transfer between the main terminal and satellite buildings.
