KUALA LUMPUR\u2014<\/strong> Malaysia Airlines (MH)<\/a> is expanding its India network and pursuing a deeper commercial partnership with IndiGo (6E) to strengthen connectivity across South and Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline will raise weekly flights from 77 to 80 in the upcoming winter schedule, adding frequencies to Ahmedabad (AMD) and Thiruvananthapuram (TRV) from Kuala Lumpur (KUL). These moves come as India accounts for 11% of the carrier\u2019s revenue and 20% of its global traffic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysia Airlines carried 1.3 million passengers to and from India in the first half of 2025. About 30% of travelers fly point-to-point between the two countries, while the remaining 70% use Kuala Lumpur as a hub to reach Southeast Asia, China, Australia, and New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline is enhancing its offering through product upgrades and operational improvements. A quarterly refresh of in-flight menus\u2014driven by a new partnership with Oberoi Flight Kitchen\u2014is part of efforts to improve the passenger experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This product focus aligns with Malaysia Airlines\u2019 broader international strategy, which now generates 90% of its revenue, double the share from seven years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaboration with IndiGo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Talks are underway to expand the existing codeshare arrangement with IndiGo<\/a> beyond domestic networks to destinations in Southeast Asia and Australia. Currently, both carriers place their marketing codes on each other\u2019s domestic flights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Malaysia Airlines\u2019 Group Managing Director, Captain Izham bin Ismail, described IndiGo as \u201ca good partner\u201d and noted the potential for growth in shared markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June, Malaysia Airlines launched the \u201cBonus Side Trip\u201d program, offering transiting passengers a complimentary domestic return flight within Malaysia. Initially aimed at European customers, the initiative has also attracted strong interest from Indian travelers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
