Malaysia Airlines to double Trivandrum services from April 3

Malaysia Airlines, which commenced operations from Trivandrum (Kerala) in November last year, proposes to double the current frequency in the Kuala Lumpur sector with effect from April 3. The airline currently operates two flights a week and will increase this to four in response to what a company spokesman described as positive load factor performance and an increase in demand. The decision comes on the heels of a similar initiative in the Amritsar-Kuala Lumpur sector with effect from January 15. The expansion of services to Thiruvananthapuram will amplify the airline’s connectivity to India to 71 flights weekly. Malaysian Airlines operates from nine major hubs in the country, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad and Amritsar. It is introducing special fares for Indian travellers, providing them with enhanced flexibility and travel options to explore Malaysia, said a report.
