Amal by Malaysia Airlines, the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimage arm of Malaysia Airlines, has sealed a major partnership with 13* prominent Umrah agencies across Malaysia for the 1447H Umrah season (June 2025 – July 2026). This collaboration underscores Amal’s commitment to enhancing the pilgrimage experience, ensuring a smooth and reliable journey for Malaysian travellers to the Holy Land. The signing ceremony was attended by Muhammad Najmi Mansor, Chief Operating Officer of Amal by Malaysia Airlines, alongside representatives from the 13 appointed agencies. Through this strategic partnership, the appointed agents will have access to confirmed flight allocations on Amal flights. Each agency was carefully selected based on its proven reliability, adherence to regulatory standards, and alignment with Amal’s high expectations for quality and operational integrity. In addition to the confirmed allocations, a significant portion of flight inventory remains accessible to other authorised agents and is also available for direct booking via iflyamal.com – offering greater flexibility for pilgrims who prefer to make their own arrangements. Mr. Muhammad Najmi Mansor, Chief Operating Officer of Amal by Malaysia Airlines said, “ Amal’s growth reflects our commitment to elevating the pilgrimage experience for Malaysian travellers. From operating just one daily flight under Malaysia Airlines, we expanded to up to four flights daily under Amal, successfully transporting nearly 180,000 pilgrims in 2024. We are deeply grateful to our strategic partners, whose loyalty and collaboration have been central to this progress. By exclusively partnering with trusted, licensed agents, Amal guarantees confirmed flight seats and helps address concerns over unauthorised travel packages, reinforcing our commitment to providing reliable and high-quality pilgrimage service. Together, we will continue to deliver a dignified and seamless pilgrimage experience that upholds the values of integrity and the warmth of Malaysian Hospitality. ” Additionally, Amal’s collaboration with these agencies will offer competitively priced and comprehensive Umrah packages tailored to the diverse needs of Malaysian pilgrims. The partnership also promises pilgrims improved connectivity, exclusive flights, and enhanced ground services. As part of its digital transformation, Amal recently launched its dedicated mobile app to enhance the end-to-end pilgrimage journey. Designed to simplify travel arrangements and personalise services, the app reflects the core values of Malaysian Hospitality by offering a seamless, spiritually attuned experience. Travellers can book and manage flights, explore flight and hotel bundled options, and explore Umrah packages offered by Amal’s strategic partners. The app also features Muslim lifestyle tools such as prayer times (Malaysia), Qibla direction, a digital tasbih , and a collection of du’a and dhikr for spiritual reflection. Additional services include hotel bookings from over 600,000 global stays with Enrich points integration, and the Amal Mall, offering curated pilgrimage essentials and in-flight exclusives—all in one convenient platform. More features and updates will continue to be introduced in the future, all at no additional cost, as part of Amal’s commitment to delivering value and convenience to every pilgrim. This initiative also aligns with the Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture (MOTAC)’s ongoing efforts to regulate the Umrah sector and safeguard the interests of Malaysian pilgrims. As Amal evolves, its service offerings, close collaboration with this network of agencies remains key to its mission of delivering an elevated pilgrimage experience.
