Malaysia Airlines (MAS) and IndiGo have teamed up for a codeshare partnership that aims to boost connectivity and elevate the traveller experience across its key hubs within Malaysia and India.
Through this partnership, MAS customers will gain wider access to destinations within India, as the airline’s flight code MH will be added to seven domestic destinations in India, such as Kolkata, Varanasi, Patna, Tiruchirappalli, Goa, Bhubaneswar, and Visakhapatnam.
This complements the airline’s current direct routes to 10 key hubs in India, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Trivandrum and Kolkata.
Meanwhile, IndiGo’s 6E flight code will be added to MAS domestic flights from its main hub at Kuala Lumpur International Airport Terminal 1 to destinations like Penang, Langkawi, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching, thus allowing holiday goers added travel options to explore the beauty of Malaysia.
Izham Ismail, group managing director of Malaysia Aviation Group, said: “This strategic partnership reflects our mutual commitment to boosting tourism growth between our nations, especially with the visa-free entry for tourists between the two countries. Our goal is to provide more travel options, enhanced connectivity, and a seamless travel experience for our valued customers.”
“The partnership will offer increased accessibility, to explore the unique and enriching experience that the country has to offer. This collaboration not only expands travel options for our customers, but also strengthens the cultural and economic ties between the two nations,” added Pieter Elbers, CEO, IndiGo.
