Encouraged by strong demand for its flights from Kuala Lumpur to Thiruvanthapuram in Kerala, Malaysia Airlines has announced additional frequencies starting April 3.

Malaysia Airlines, the national carrier of Malaysia, is gearing up to double the frequency on its Kuala Lumpur-Thiruvananthapuram route as of April 3 in recognition of positive load factor performance and growing demand on the route. The airline commenced its inaugural flight to Trivandrum in November 2023, operating at two times weekly, and will increase to four flights weekly beginning April 2024. 

Malaysia Airlines said in a press statement that this decision was made in response to the recent increase in frequency between Amritsar and Kuala Lumpur starting on January 15.

The statement adds that with this expansion, this will bring the airline’s connectivity into India to 71 flights weekly.

The airline says that it currently offers flights to nine major cities in India, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar and Thiruvananthapuram.

“India remains an integral part of Malaysia Airlines’ global network. With the introduction of the additional frequencies into Trivandrum, we will be strengthening our connectivity into India with 71 weekly flights from nine key hubs. Furthermore, we are thrilled to introduce special fares for Indian travellers, providing them enhanced flexibility and travel options to explore the beauty of Malaysia, strengthening our position as the gateway to Asia and beyond,” says Dersenish Aresandiran, Chief Commercial Officer of Airlines from Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG).

“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,” adds Aresandiran.

The airline adds that to celebrate the increase in flight frequencies, it is offering special promotional fares for Indian travellers to explore Malaysia. Fares to Kuala Lumpur from Thiruvananthapuram start from INR 12,999 all-in return or from Ahmedabad starting from INR 21799 all-in return, available for purchase from now until February 11, for travel up to May 12.
