Brief

After the travel industry was on a hiatus due to the pandemic, people were finally able to fly again. Malaysia Airlines wanted to send a love letter to Malaysians to invite them back to the skies.

Solution

“To all Malaysians, selamat pulang ke Tanah Air…”

It’s an announcement that carries a huge significance to Malaysians. A familiar reminder of their home sweet home.

Malaysia Airlines wanted to return to basics and remind the world about what the brand has stood for since day one — the warmth, care, and kindness passed down from generation to generation. We made it a mission to celebrate what it means to be Malaysia’s most memorable local airline by highlighting Malaysian Hospitality, a culture that is innate in not only the brand’s ethos but every single Malaysian out there. This film taps into that by depicting everyday Malaysians under normal day-to-day circumstances, being their hospitable best.
