Following encouraging load factors and sustained demand on its Trivandrum–Kuala Lumpur route, Malaysia Airlines is set to further expand its presence in South India by increasing frequencies to the city. Beginning September 12, 2025, the airline will introduce a fifth weekly service, with daily operations to commence on December 1, 2025. Tickets for the new frequencies will be available immediately. The increase in service frequency marks a significant advancement since the route launched in November 2023, initially operating twice weekly and later expanding to four times weekly in April 2024.
 
The airline has also partnered with Kerala Tourism under “the Look East” initiative, launched in Trivandrum, to strengthen travel ties between East Asia and Kerala.
 
The increase in frequency reaffirms Malaysia Airlines’ commitment to the Indian market by offering travellers greater flexibility and convenience, while enhancing connectivity between India and Malaysia. Through its hub in Kuala Lumpur, the airline continues to strengthen its role as the gateway to Asia and beyond.
 
Dersenish Aresandiran, Chief Commercial Officer of Airlines from Malaysia Aviation Group, said, “India remains a key focus market for Malaysia Airlines, and this frequency increase reaffirms our dedication to meeting the growing demand for air travel from South India. With daily flights to Trivandrum, we are well-positioned to offer greater flexibility and convenience for both business and leisure travellers, while supporting trade and tourism flows between our two countries.”
 
Malaysia Airlines currently operates 76 weekly flights across ten key cities in India, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, and Thiruvananthapuram (formerly Trivandrum). With the new additions, airlines expect to increase the number of weekly flights to 77 by December 2025.
 
Passengers flying from India to Malaysia can also take advantage of Malaysia Airlines’ Bonus Side Trip (BST) programme, which offers a complimentary side trip to one of seven domestic destinations within Malaysia. This value-added offering allows international travellers to explore more of Malaysia’s unique culture, nature, and heritage—all within a single itinerary.
