Over the next few years, the airline expanded rapidly, boosted by postwar air travel demand when flying became more than a privilege for the rich and famous. By April 1960, the airline was operating Douglas DC-3s, Super Constellations and Viscounts on new routes from Singapore to [[Hong Kong]], and from Kuala Lumpur to [[Bangkok]] via Penang. The airline also increased its frequencies from Singapore to cities on the [[British Borneo]], including [[Brunei]], [[Jesselton]] (now [[Kota Kinabalu]]), [[Kuching]], [[Labuan]], [[Sandakan]], and [[Sibu]].

With the delivery of an 84-seat Bristol Britannia in 1960, the airline launched its first long-haul international flight, to Hong Kong. When [[Federation of Malaya|Malaya]], Singapore, [[Sabah]], and [[Sarawak]] formed Malaysia in September 1963, the airline's name was officially from "Malayan Airways" to "Malaysian Airways" concurrent with the arrival of five Fokker F27 in November 1963<ref name="Major Airlines of the World">{{cite book |last1=Endres |first1=Gunter |last2=Hewson |first2=Robert |date=1997 |title=The Vital Guide to Major Airlines of the World: Over 100 Leading Airlines, Complete with Fleet Lists (Vital Guides) |pages=80–81 |publisher=Airlife |isbn=1853105813}}</ref> (though still abbreviated to MAL).<ref name=History /> MAL also incorporated [[Borneo Airways]], with the brand effectively merged under its parent company by 1 April 1965.

In 1966, following Singapore's separation from the federation, the airline's name was changed again, to [[Malaysia-Singapore Airlines]] (MSA).<ref name=History /> The next year had a rapid expansion in the airline's fleet and routes, including the purchase of MSA's first [[Boeing]] aircraft: the [[Boeing 707]]s, as well as completion of a new high-rise headquarters in Singapore. [[Boeing 737]]s were added to the fleet soon afterwards.
