Malaysian hybrid airline Malindo Air continues its international expansion by launching a new service to Sri Lanka. The carrier will now operate daily flights from Kuala Lumpur to Colombo, making Sri Lanka its ninth country outside Malaysia to fly to.
Customers can purchase all inclusive return tickets for RM674 for Economy Class and RM1074 for Business Class and also get 30kg free baggage alowance, in-flight movie, a meal and more.
The plane is scheduled to depart from Kuala Lumpur International Airport 2 (KLIA2) at 10:00 P.M. and arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport at 10:55 P.M. local time. Due to the time difference of about 2.5 hours, the flight will take about 3 hours and 25 minutes.
“A New Era in Malindo Air’s Journey”
Chief executive officer at Malindo Air Chandran Rama Muthy said:
Colombo, as our new destination, marks another profound milestone for all of us at Malindo Air, and the launch of today’s inaugural flight to Colombo highlights a new era in our young airline’s journey. Whilst it’s true that as we continue to expand, we are taking more people on more aircraft to mare places, we have to continue our efforts to provide the best service for our customers as travel itself has changed; it has become a process of enrichment, of self-discovery, of life-changing moments and fulfilling ambitions.
Malindo Air CEO added:
Tourism is a huge sector of the Malaysian economy. Tourism contributed RM72 billion to our country’s revenue. It’s almost the end of the year. Malaysia’s target for tourist arrivals this year is 27.9 million, and we hope our rapid expansion can help contribute to the nation’s tourism development, and economic growth.
