Kuching: The newly-established joint Malaysia-Indonesia airline Malindo Air, which celebrated its new flights between Kuala Lumpur (KL) and Kuching yesterday, will operate international flights from KL to New Delhi, India in June.
Its CEO Chandran Rama Muthy said it will also start flights from Sabah and Sarawak to China and Hong Kong by early next year.
"Regional flights (from Sabah and Sarawak) will start at the end of this year or maybe early next year. Right now, the idea is to make Malaysia a transit hub for tourists that fly in via Lion Air and the Malindo network," he told a press conference here yesterday.
"The idea is to make KL, Kuching and Kota Kinabalu as transit hubs. We want people from Jakarta to go to KL and Kuching. Later, we want people from Pontianak to go to KL and Kuching."
Its next domestic destination out of KL is Miri, which will begin in June, followed by Sibu and Bintulu later.
