Malaysia Airlines Expands Connectivity in India with Three New Routes
Malaysia Airlines embarks on a new Commercial Elevation journey to expand its footprint in India, launching three new services between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Amritsar (ATQ), Thiruvananthapuram (TRV), and Ahmedabad (AMD) on November 8, November 9, and December 1, 2023, respectively.
The expansion will increase Malaysia Airlines’ point-to-point connection between India and Kuala Lumpur to nine (9) important hubs, giving travellers more choices and flexibility when travelling between the two nations. Currently, the airline offers direct flights to Kochi, New Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, and Hyderabad. The Boeing 737-800NG aircraft, which has 160 seats in total—16 in business class and 144 in economy class—will fly the additional routes.
Malaysia Airlines is happy to provide introductory rates as part of this effort, with all-inclusive roundtrip tickets starting at RM999 on Economy Class and RM2,999 on Business Class. These tickets are available for purchase from now through 9 September 2023 for travel from 8 November 2023 to 31 March 2024. Customers who make reservations during this time will also receive up to 50% Bonus Enrich Points.
