KUALA LUMPUR, 21 SEP 2015 – Malindo Air, Malaysia’s first hybrid airline becomes the sole airline to offer direct flights between Kuala Lumpur and the Punjab capital of India, Amritsar, via three times weekly flights which will commence from 25 October 2015 onwards. The 4,268km route or equivalent to a 5-hour 20-minute flight will signify the airline’s furthest destination from its main hub in Kuala Lumpur.
Promotional fares for Business Class start from RM1,309 one-way while Economy Class fares start from RM759 one-way all inclusive of light refreshments and a meal, in-flight entertainment and free baggage allowance. Bookings can be made online at malindoair.com or for smartphone devices at mobile.malindoair.com or via the Malindo Air App available for download on Google Play and App Store.
The departing flight will take off daily from KLIA2 at 9:15am and touch down at the Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ) at 12:25pm. The return flight will depart from Amritsar at 1:15pm and arrive in KLIA2 at 9:35pm.
Malindo Air’s CEO, Chandran Rama Muthy, said, “We are proud to soon be extending our wings further up north India to Amritsar, the capital city of Punjab state. This means a lot to our airline as the route will signify our furthest route yet from Kuala Lumpur using our young fleet of Boeing 737-900ER aircraft. Malaysians and transiting visitors from neighbouring Singapore can now look forward to a smooth flight to Amritsar via Kuala Lumpur whether for business, leisure or religious purposes.”
“Apart from Amritsar, we will continue to focus on further route enhancements and introduce more value-added services and promotions to strengthen our hybrid concept in Malaysia and the region,” he added.
Being the Sikh capital of India, the city of Amritsar offers a humbling eye-opening experience for tourists and Punjab pilgrims. The legendary Harmandir Sahib, also known as the Golden Temple, is a must-visit for spiritual healing and sight-seeing.
Recently, Malindo Air clinched the Airline of the Year (Passenger) award at the distinctive KLIA Awards 2014, in recognition of the airline’s achievements and exceptional performance in areas such as passenger movement, growth, sales, international recognition and service throughout year 2014.
