Kuala Lumpur/NITN: Malaysia Airlines is offering introductory fares on their three new services between Kuala Lumpur and the Indian cities of Amritsar, Thiruvananthapuram and Ahmedabad.
The introductory fares with all-in return tickets starting from RM999 on Economy Class and from RM2,999 on Business Class are available for purchase until September 9, 2023, for travel between November 8, 2023 and March 31, 2024, the airlines said in a release.

The new services between Kuala Lumpur (KUL) and Amritsar (ATQ), Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) and Ahmedabad (AMD), will commence on November 8, November 9 and December 1 this year, respectively.
The expansion will bring Malaysia Airlines’ point-to-point connectivity from Kuala Lumpur to India to nine key hubs.
Said Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), “India remains a key market for Malaysia Airlines. Currently, our average load factor on this route is at 81 per cent year to date July 2023 signifying the growth and confidence for travel between the two markets.”
“We are looking at restoring our pre-COVID-19 capacity back in the Indian market by the end of this year and will also look to increase flight frequencies to other destinations as we support seamless travels in Malaysia and beyond,” he said.
Malaysia Airlines currently operates direct flights to New Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kochi.
The new routes will be operated by the Boeing 737-800NG aircraft, equipped with 160 seats, comprising 16 seats in Business Class and 144 seats in Economy Class.
