MAS to focus on growing its presence in Indian sub-continent

Kuching: Malaysia Airlines (MAS) will remain focused on growing its presence in the Indian sub-continent, one of the leading high-growth markets, to improve further its route performance.
MAS commercial director Datuk Rashid Khas said the national carrier’s foray into the region was slightly hampered due to the financial crisis and it was difficult as MAS undertook the withdrawal from Kolkata and Ahmedabab under the first phase of its network rationalisation last year.
MAS, which started its Indian operations in 1974 from the Indian city of Chennai, will continue to operate 43 weekly flights through nine different gateways out of South Asia, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Dhaka which offer daily connectivity, and Bangalore, Hyderabad, Colombo, Male and Karachi with thrice weekly flights.
