Following positive load factor performance and increasing demands on its Trivandrum-Kuala Lumpur route, Malaysia Airlines will double the current frequency on this route starting April 2.
The inaugural flight, which commenced in November 2023 with twice-weekly services, will be boosted to four a week.
This will bring the airline’s connectivity into India to 71 flights weekly. Currently, the airline offers flights to nine major hubs in India, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar and Trivandrum.
Dersenish Aresandiran, chief commercial officer of airlines of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said: “India remains an integral part of Malaysia Airlines’ global network. With the introduction of the additional frequencies into Trivandrum, we will be strengthening our connectivity into India with 71 weekly flights from nine key hubs.
“Furthermore, we are thrilled to introduce special fares for Indian travellers, providing them enhanced flexibility and travel options to explore the beauty of Malaysia; strengthening our position as the gateway to Asia and beyond. As we aim to capture the growing demand from India, we are committed to ensuring that customer experience remains our top priority driven by our inimitable Malaysian hospitality.”
To celebrate the increase in flight frequencies, Malaysia Airlines is offering special promotional fares for Indian travellers to explore Malaysia. Enjoy fares to Kuala Lumpur from Trivandrum starting from 12,999 rupees (US$156) all-in return, or from Ahmedabad starting from 21,799 rupees all-in return, available for purchase from now until February 11 for travel up to May 12.
