Malaysia Airlines Increases Frequencies to Trivandrum from September 2025 Following Strong Demand

The Voice of Chandigarh

Following encouraging load factors and sustained demand on its Kuala Lumpur – Trivandrum route, Malaysia Airlines is set to further strengthen its connectivity in South India by increasing frequencies to the city. Beginning 12 September 2025, the airline will introduce a fifth weekly service, with daily operations to commence from 1 December 2025. Tickets for the new frequencies are now available for booking through all Malaysia Airlines’ official channels and appointed travel partners.

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. This marks a significant step forward, reflecting the route’s impressive growth since its launch in November 2023, which began with twice-weekly flights before increasing to four times weekly in April 2024. Operating through its main 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 the introduction of daily flights to Trivandrum from December, we are well-positioned to provide both leisure and business travellers with greater flexibility and convenience, while supporting trade and tourism flows between our two countries. Beyond connectivity, we are proud to deliver our signature Malaysian Hospitality throughout the entire journey – ensuring a warm, reliable, and memorable end-to-end travel experience that reflects the values of our brand.”

Malaysia Airlines currently operates 77 weekly flights across ten key cities in India including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, and Trivandrum. With the new additions, this number will increase to 80 weekly flights by December 2025.

International travellers flying through Malaysia can also take advantage of Malaysia Airlines’ Bonus Side Trip (BST) programme, which offers a domestic flight to one of seven domestic destinations within Malaysia with zero base fare. This value-added offering allows international travellers to explore more of Malaysia’s unique culture, nature, and heritage—all within a single itinerary.
