Is there a direct KL–Fukuoka flight every day? From 1 December 2026, yes (Malaysia Airlines, up from 5 a week)

This week's news · Checked 2026-09-22

Short answer. Not yet, but from 1 December 2026 there will be. The Star (14 September 2026) reports that Malaysia Airlines is increasing its KL–Fukuoka service from five times weekly to daily, beginning 1 December 2026. The direct route only resumed in early September 2026, and MH remains the only airline flying directly between KL and Fukuoka. The article gives no fares.

What it means for you.

• December school-holiday trips get easier to plan. With a daily flight you can pick outbound and return dates by hotel price, not by which days the flight runs. A 5–6 day Kyushu trip no longer has to stretch because "there's no flight that day".
• In and out of Fukuoka suits a rental-car loop: [Fukuoka → Beppu → Yufuin, real costs](/kyushu-car-rental-fukuoka-real-costs/) and [Fukuoka → Kumamoto → Aso](/kyushu-car-rental-kumamoto-aso-real-costs/).
• Food: 12 halal and Muslim-friendly places around Hakata and Tenjin are in [halal food in Fukuoka](/halal-food-fukuoka-hakata-tenjin/).
