Mumbai Indians take flight as Malaysia Airlines unveils special-themed aircraft

Malaysia Airlines, the national carrier of Malaysia and the five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions, Mumbai Indians (MI) have announced a one-of-a-kind aircraft livery that combines the classic blue and gold of one of cricket’s most storied franchises with Malaysia Airlines’ blues.

The newly designed livery, now shown on Malaysia Airlines’ A330-300, transforms the aircraft into a strong visual representation of sport, culture, and connectivity, extending Mumbai’s spirit beyond the stadium and onto the world stage. The design combines both businesses’ respective identities, with a dynamic pulse emanating from the Mumbai Indians’ logo and its famous chakra, which represents motion and speed. Flowing patterns on the aircraft depict the team’s increasing worldwide fan base, supporting Malaysia Airlines’ position as a global airline that connects people through shared adventures and experiences.

To commemorate the inauguration, Malaysia Airlines and MI have created a tribute digital film that captures the colourful culture of Mumbai, the enthusiasm of its supporters, and the warmth of Malaysian hospitality.

Bryan Foong, Chief Executive Officer of Airline Business from Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG), said, “India remains a key growth market for Malaysia Airlines as we continue to strengthen our presence and connectivity across the region. This collaboration with Mumbai Indians allows us to go beyond traditional aviation partnerships by integrating cultural relevance into our brand experience. It reflects our commitment to building meaningful, long-term connections with customers while reinforcing Malaysia Airlines as a carrier that connects people, places and passions across our global network.”
