Malaysia-based Malindo Air will add six new routes to India this year, giving the 10-month old airline up to 25%
control of the Malaysia-India market.
The airline, established in March last year, currently flies to New Delhi and Trichy and has a less than 8% share of the market. “Malindo is increasing capacity to South India because of passenger demand and also to bring tourists here in conjuction with Visit Malaysia Year,” the airline’s CEO, Chandran Ramamuthy was quoted by Business Times.
The airline will launch flights to Mumbai on 15 February, followed by Ahmedabad by 19 March. By June or July, the airline will fly to Kochi, while Malindo will also fly directly to Pondicherry between July and November. By December, it will add either Madurai or Coimbatore in the south, and Amritsar or Pune in the north to its network.
“We are considering Coimbatore as it is close to Kerala and we can capture a larger market there.
We have approval to fly to all these places except for Madurai, which is pending,” Chandran said.
