After a months-long lockdown, 159 passengers boarded the first flight from Kuala Lumpur to Langkawi on Thursday for a vacation.

On Thursday, the first plane carrying tourists in more than four months landed on the island of Langkawi, Malaysia, and was greeted by a double water cannon salute as part of a mission to resurrect a travel sector that had been frozen by the pandemic.

After a months-long statewide lockdown ordered to address one of Asia’s highest per-capital Coronavirus infection rates, the first group of 159 passengers from the capital, Kuala Lumpur, arrived eager for a vacation.

Langkawi, a group of 99 islands known for its beaches, geoparks, birds, and stunning rock formations, is the test case in a campaign to allow vaccinated domestic tourists to participate in vacation activities under agreed-upon health guidelines.

“My last holiday was last year… countless months already, I felt like I’ll go mental also soon,” said Beverly Tiew.
