Laura Mercier is official cosmetics brand for Malaysia Airlines cabin crew
SEPANG: Laura Mercier will serve as the official cosmetics brand for Malaysia Airlines' cabin crew, Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) announced at a ceremony to mark the partnership today.
MAB Academy COO Aida Salfaraz Ahmad Fadzil said the collaboration will eventually be extended to other frontline staff, ensuring a consistent and professional appearance at all customer touchpoints.
'This partnership unites two strong brands – Malaysia Airlines and Laura Mercier – to elevate grooming standards and empower our cabin crew.
'When our team feels confident, it reflects in the quality of service they provide to our guests,' Aida said during the launch at the Gold Platinum Lounge in the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
Malaysia Airlines' cabin crew will participate in comprehensive training led by Laura Mercier's global artistry team, focusing not only on makeup application but also on expert techniques, grooming standards and confidence-building.
'This initiative underscores our ongoing commitment to investing in our people and raising the professional image of our cabin crew to meet the expectations of leading international airlines,' Aida said.
As part of the collaboration, Laura Mercier has worked closely with MAG to create two 'signature' looks.
'These are designed to accentuate the natural poise and elegance of the airline's cabin crew, while remaining practical for long-haul flights and diverse service environments.
The looks are crafted using products from Laura Mercier's Caviar collection.
Laura Mercier brand manager (Malaysia) Shervyn Kwong emphasised the company's philosophy of enhancing natural beauty with effortless elegance.
'Partnering with Malaysia Airlines enables us to develop signature looks that celebrate the grace and confidence of their cabin crew. Our Caviar collection, known for its long-wearing and high-performance formulas, ensures these looks remain flawless from take-off to landing,' she said.
Aida said the partnership follows Malaysia Airlines' recent progress at the 2025 Skytrax Awards, where the airline climbed from 10th place in 2024 to 8th in 2025 for the World's Best Airline Cabin Crew.
'This achievement reflects the dedication and excellence of the airline's frontline teams.'
As a member of the oneworld alliance, Malaysia Airlines connects passengers to 69 destinations across Asia, Australia, the Middle East and Europe, with access to over 900 destinations in 170 territories worldwide.
'Our cabin crew are more than just airline representatives – they embody warmth, hospitality and cultural grace on the global stage,' Aida noted.
Through this partnership, MAG is equipping its cabin crew to present their best selves – polished, poised and proud – delivering consistent, confident, and elegant service at 30,000 feet, she said.
'By investing in continuous training and strategic collaborations such as this, MAG reaffirms its commitment to nurturing talent and delivering an elevated experience across the group,' Aida said.

PM Anwar uses chartered flight for three-nation visit to save time and costs
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will begin a three-nation official visit tomorrow, travelling via a chartered Malaysia Airlines flight to Rome, Paris, and Rio de Janeiro until July 7. The decision aims to optimise time, reduce costs, and streamline delegation coordination. Tunku Nashrul Tunku Abaidah, the Prime Minister's senior press secretary, explained that the chartered flight was chosen to avoid lengthy transits and ensure smooth scheduling. 'This allows the Prime Minister's packed itinerary to proceed efficiently without delays,' he said during the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) briefing. The government will cover expenses for official delegates, while business representatives will pay their own costs. 'Business delegates were invited to join the mission to lower overall expenses and improve coordination,' Tunku Nashrul clarified, dismissing any conflict of interest concerns. Corporate participants include Petronas, Khazanah, TNB, Maybank, FGV, YTL Power, and Sunway. The visit seeks to strengthen trade, open new markets, and create high-skilled jobs for Malaysians. Anwar's attendance at the BRICS Summit in Rio de Janeiro will also highlight ASEAN's role in global governance and support the Global South agenda.

PM, delegation to use chartered flight for official visits to Italy, France, and Brazil
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim and his delegation's official visits to Italy, France and Brazil will use a chartered flight operated by Malaysia Airlines. The prime minister's senior press secretary Tunku Nashrul Abaidah said the decision was made after considering factors such as time savings, cost efficiency, and logistical coordination. "Why did we opt for a chartered flight instead of a government aircraft? It's due to time savings — given the packed schedule in all three countries without long transits. "Secondly, the cost is more manageable, as the chartered flight is more economical than operating a full government aircraft. Thirdly, coordination — having both government and business delegates depart and arrive together ensures punctual attendance at all meetings and engagement sessions," he said at the Prime Minister's Office daily briefing today. Tunku Nashrul added that the government will bear the full cost for the official delegation, while business delegates will fund their own expenses. "The prime minister will be accompanied by a business delegation comprising corporate giants and innovative Malaysian enterprises. "Some of these companies already have business operations and interests in Italy, France or Brazil, while others are exploring new investment opportunities to expand their global reach. "This synergy ensures that government-to-government (G2G) discussions are supported by business-to-business (B2B) cooperation, which in turn opens new markets, strengthens existing operations, and bolsters Malaysia's position in these strategic regions," he said. He said the business delegation includes representatives from Petronas, Khazanah, Tenaga Nasional Bhd (TNB), Maybank, FGV Holdings Bhd (FGV), and Weststar. "So let me emphasise once again — there is no conflict of interest between the government and the business delegation," he added.

PUTRAJAYA, June 30 (Bernama) -- Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim will embark tomorrow on official visits to three major global economic hubs – Rome, Paris, and Rio de Janeiro – travelling via a chartered flight from Malaysia Airlines until July 7. According to the Prime Minister's senior press secretary, Tunku Nashrul Tunku Abaidah, the use of a chartered flight was decided after careful consideration of time efficiency, cost savings, and delegation coordination, especially given the Prime Minister's tight schedule with minimal transit time between destinations. 'This decision allows the Prime Minister's highly-packed itinerary to proceed smoothly without the need for long transits. 'The cost of chartering the aircraft is also more economical compared to deploying a full government aircraft operation. 'Additionally, coordinating the travel of both government and business delegations together ensures timely attendance at all meetings and engagements,' he said during the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Daily Briefing today. Tunku Nashrul clarified that the Malaysian government will fully cover travel costs for official delegates, while business delegates will bear their own expenses. 'All business delegates will remain present at each of the three destinations. The Prime Minister extended the invitation to them to join the broader Malaysian mission to help lower costs for all parties and ensure smoother coordination throughout the visits. 'I would like to stress once again that there is no conflict of interest between the government and the business delegation,' he emphasised. Among the corporate representatives joining the mission are Petronas, Khazanah, Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB), Maybank, FGV, YTL Power, and Sunway.
