Mumbai: Malysia's hybrid airline Malindo Air on Saturday started direct flights from Mumbai to Kuala Lumpur. While Malindo becomes the 31st airline to operate international flights from Mumbai, it is the first carrier to have started services after the Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport was inaugurated.
The development is significant with the airport's attempt to turn Mumbai, which is the economic capital of India, into an aviation hub, and subsequently increase the passenger capacity.
Terminal 2, which is part of the airport's development programme, has been built at a cost of over Rs 5,500 crore. Druk Air, Singapore-TATA, are among the other airlines which are expected to start their operations from T2 in the near future.
