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. Malaysia Aviation Group, Malaysia Airlines' parent, said in its news release of 4 September 2026: "Services to Fukuoka will increase from five weekly flights to daily operations from 1 December 2026." The direct route only resumed in early September 2026, and MH remains the only airline flying directly between KL and Fukuoka (same release). The release 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 and Fukuoka → Kumamoto → Aso.
• Food: 12 halal and Muslim-friendly places around Hakata and Tenjin are in halal food in Fukuoka.
• Fukuoka hotels for your dates, before December fares climb: Fukuoka hotel list on Trip.com (prices vary by date; checked 22 Sept 2026).
