{{AFC comment|1=Some of the sources (e.g. AviationMalayia, AirlineHistory and CH-Aviation) all lead to 404s. Simple Flying is not a reliable source (and also leads to a 404). While source 1 is supposedly about "Malaysia's Love2Fly takes delivery of first aircraft", the actual article is about a city in India getting a scheduled flight route and doesn't actually mention the company.
Despite all of this, even if the sources led to the correct destinations, I would still say the company isn't notable enough as there are not enough reliable, secondary sources that cover the subject in significant depth, at least in this draft. Rambley (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2025 (UTC)}}

Although it took delivery of Boeing 737 aircraft and conducted proving and charter flights, it never launched scheduled commercial services. The airline ceased operations in 2024.
History
Love2Fly was formed in 2017 by Malaysian aviation firm M Jets International Sdn Bhd with the aim of entering the low-cost and charter airline market. The airline took delivery of its first aircraft, a Boeing 737-800 (registration 9M-LOV), in October 2019.{{cite web |title=Malaysia's Love2Fly takes delivery of first aircraft |url=https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/83549-malaysias-love2fly-takes-delivery-of-first-aircraft |website=ch-aviation |date=24 October 2019 |access-date=22 June 2025}}
Love2Fly conducted several proving and charter flights to domestic cities including Penang, Langkawi, Kota Kinabalu, and Miri.{{cite web |title=Airline Startup of the Week: Malaysia's Love2Fly |url=https://simpleflying.com/airline-startup-of-the-week-love2fly/ |website=Simple Flying |access-date=22 June 2025}} A second 737-800 (registration 9M-MJI) was also acquired but never entered service.{{cite web |title=Love2Fly Fleet Info |url=https://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Love2Fly.htm |website=Airfleets.net |access-date=22 June 2025}}
Despite initial progress, the airline failed to commence full operations or secure an Air Operator's Certificate (AOC) for scheduled service. In late 2020, Love2Fly returned its only operational aircraft to the lessor.{{cite web |title=Malaysia's Love2Fly returns only aircraft |url=https://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/96558-malaysias-love2fly-returns-only-aircraft |website=ch-aviation |date=30 November 2020 |access-date=22 June 2025}}
The company remained dormant until 2024, when it was officially confirmed that Love2Fly had ceased operations entirely.{{cite web |title=Love2Fly Profile |url=https://airlinehistory.co.uk/airline/love2fly-love-to-fly-m-jets-international/ |website=AirlineHistory.co.uk |access-date=22 June 2025}} Regulatory filings and reports from regional media indicated that M Jets International had abandoned its passenger service ambitions.
Destinations
Love2Fly did not launch scheduled commercial flights before ceasing operations. However, it operated a limited number of proving and charter flights during late 2019 and early 2020, primarily within Malaysia and Southeast Asia.

While no formal charges were announced, the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission reportedly inquired into the company's financial filings and charter activity.{{cite web |title=Malaysia's M Jets under regulatory scrutiny |url=https://www.ch-aviation.com/news/mjets-regulatory-review |website=ch-aviation (LinkedIn snapshot) |access-date=22 June 2025}}
