Malaysia Airlines Adds 5th Weekly Flight on KL-Trivandrum Route

Malaysia Airlines will improve connectivity between Malaysia and India with a fifth weekly Kuala Lumpur-Trivandrum service from 12 September 2025. The move serves to meet the increasing demand between both business and leisure channels.

The flight was initially launched as two weekly services in November 2023, but it was upgraded to four services in April 2024 owing to strong passenger traffic. With daily flights planned from December 1, 2025, the airline continues its strategic push into the Indian market.

Currently operating 77 weekly flights across 10 Indian cities, Malaysia Airlines will increase this to 80 flights by the end of 2025. The Trivandrum route, serving South India, has become increasingly popular due to Kerala's tourism appeal and the business ties between the two regions. The airline's efforts aim to enhance regional connectivity while catering to post-pandemic travel growth, offering travelers more flexibility and convenience.
Malaysia Airlines' Chief Commercial Officer Dersenish Aresandiran emphasized India's importance in the airline's long-term strategy, highlighting the expansion as a step toward deeper bilateral engagement.

The increased services also support travelers accessing wider Southeast Asian destinations via Kuala Lumpur's strategic location. The airline's ongoing commitment includes a strong focus on both service quality and regional integration to maintain its relevance in one of the world's fastest-growing aviation markets.
