Kuala Lumpur: Malindo Air has launched its inaugural flight to the sacred city of Varanasi, India on Thursday evening.
“India is a significant market to us. Just as its neighbouring cities, the potential is foreseen on both, inbound and outbound travellers on leisure, business, as well as visiting friends and families purposes,” Malindo Air chief executive officer Chandran Rama Muthy said, in a statement.
“However Varanasi may have the added advantage in terms of demand as it is also primarily a sacred pilgrimage destination for Hindus around the world,” he added.
Malindo Air said it was the only Malaysian carrier operating directly between Kuala Lumpur and Varanasi.
“I believe our objectives are in line with our government’s tourism and economic agenda, which is to entice more visitors into Malaysia hence boosting economic conditions and increasing passengers’ arrivals at KLIA, which is envisioned to be the main regional hub of Asia,” Rama Muthy said.
Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd chief execvutive officer Raja Azmi Raja Nazuddin said Malindo was the first in Malaysia and fourth in Southeast Asia to introduce the route.
