KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines will be doubling the current frequency on its Trivandrum to Kuala Lumpur route starting from April 2, following positive load factor performance and increasing demand.
The airline commenced its inaugural flight to Trivandrum in November 2023, operating two flights weekly, according to Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) in a statement today.
MAG said this decision follows the recent increase in frequency between Amritsar and Kuala Lumpur from January 15.

"As we aim to capture the growing demand from India, we are committed to ensuring that customer experience remains our top priority driven by our inimitable Malaysian Hospitality," he added.
With the amplification of Malaysia Airlines' services from Trivandrum, this will bring the airline's connectivity into India to 71 flights weekly.
Currently, the airline offers flights from nine major hubs in India, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar and Trivandrum.
To celebrate the increase in flight frequencies, Malaysia Airlines is also offering special promotional fares for Indian travelers to explore Malaysia.
