Kuala Lumpur: Malindo Air will roll out more destinations in India following the launch of its first international route between Kuala Lumpur and New Delhi in June.
CEO, Chandran Ramamuthy, told TTG Asia e-Daily that the airline would commence flights between Kuala Lumpur and Bengaluru, Chennai and Kolkata in the second half of 2013, subject to regulatory approval.
He added: “We see India is a big and growing market. In terms of tourism arrivals, it is the second largest medium-haul market after China.”
Besides ramping up seat capacity, Malindo Air’s new Indian services might pave the way for lower airfares and new outbound destinations for Indian tourists, said Grandlotus Travel Agencies managing director, K Thangavelu.
