Malaysia Airlines (MAS) has moved to distance itself from reports that it would create child-free zones on new Airbus A380 aircraft when it enters the fleet in July.
In a spate of reports, the carrier said it would ban children under 12 from the upper deck of the new planes. However, MAS said that when the main deck is full “we will still accommodate such demand in the 70-seat upper deck economy-class zone of our A380.”
“Arising from the absence of bassinet facility in first class, Malaysia Airlines will accept infant travel in business- and economy-class zones,” MAS Dato’ Mohd Salleh Ahmad Tabrani, EVP-customer experience said in response to questions from.
There are only eight first-class seats but no bassinets, although there are in both business and economy class, he said.
The economy-class zone on the main deck has been enhanced and designated as a family- and children-friendly inflight zone, according to MAS.
“The main deck has more facilities such as toilets [eight in an economy configuration of 350 seats], and the dual aerobridge airport facility supporting this deck will also mean a speedier/faster embarkation and disembarkation for this group of passengers,” MAS said.
