EgyptAir plans more direct India-KL flights

Mumbai: Spurred by overwhelming response to its recently launched direct flights between Mumbai and Kuala Lumpur, EgyptAir plans to add more direct flights to Malaysia from major Indian cities.
EgyptAir’s Mumbai-based regional manager Ahmed Wasfy said the airline will operate direct flights from New Delhi and Ahmedabad, the largest city in Gujarat, to Malaysia from next year.
Due to strong demand from Egyptian and Indian passengers the airline will also increase its present twice-weekly services to thrice a week to Kuala Lumpur from July.
Ahmed said the number of people travelling from Malaysia to the Middle East is gradually on the rise while Malaysia is a favourite destination among Egyptians, hence the Cairo-Mumbai-KL route serves as a vital air link connecting these destinations.
EgyptAir targets about 12,800 passengers to fly the Mumbai-KL sector by year-end.
