Malindo Air begins service from Kochi to Kuala Lumpur

Malaysia's hybrid airline Malindo Air has launched its daily service from Kochi to Kuala Lumpur.
The inaugural flight took off from the Cochin International Airport last night, Malindo Air CEO Chandran Rama Muthy told reporters here today.
Kochi is Malindo Air's fifth destination in India and the tenth international destination for the one-year-old carrier. The flight is operated on the airline's brand new 180-seater Boeing 737-900ER.
The airline in collaboration with Tourism Malaysia is organising a Malaysia Travel Fair at 'Lulu Mall' here.
Visitors to the fair will get exclusive promotional rates only available at the fair as the carrier intends to woo more visitors from Kochi to Malaysia for 'Visit Malaysia year 2014,' the airline said.

Malindo Air will be offering free seats to newly launched Kochi service route, excluding airport taxes, valid for one way only. The promotion will run up to May 25.
The airline, which began its operations in March last year, operates a network of scheduled passenger services throughout Malaysia and has expanded to regional destinations such as Indonesia, Thailand, Bangladesh and India.
