  "summary": "Penang has welcomed its inaugural winter charter flight from Warsaw, marking a new addition to Malaysia's international air travel. The flight, operated by Rainbow Tours using a 293-seat Boeing 787 Dreamliner, is part of the company's winter charter programme running from this month to March next year. The weekly direct service aims to provide greater accessibility for Polish holidaymakers visiting Malaysia during the European winter season. The passengers were welcomed in a ceremony jointly organised by Penang Global Tourism (PGT) and Tourism Malaysia, together with tourism stakeholders and industry partners. Poland has emerged as a promising source market for Malaysia within central and eastern Europe, with Malaysia recording a 8.3 per cent year-on-year increase in tourist arrivals from Poland between January and September.",
