Fly with<br />
to Jeddah<br />
Malindo Air is now flying to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia from KL<br />
International Airport (KLIA) with a one-hour stop-over in<br />
Ahmedabad, India.<br />
The route, which began on February 21, has introductory<br />
promotional return fares starting from RM3,999 for Business<br />
Class and from RM2,899 for Economy Class.<br />
It flies to King Abdul Aziz International Airport, Jeddah from<br />
KLIA Main Terminal Building twice a week between February<br />
21 and March 25. It flies daily from March 26 onwards.<br />
Malindo Air Chief Executive Officer, Chandran Rama Muthy<br />
said the new route allows more visitors to the holy cities of<br />
Makkah and Madinah.<br />
"This will create another affordable option for our Muslim<br />
guests to perform the umrah and haj," he said.<br />
He added the airline has plans to progressively increase<br />
frequencies from twice to four times weekly and daily flight<br />
during the month of Ramadan.<br />
Direct daily flights to Manila<br />
from KLIA starting June 2017<br />
If you're looking to travel to Manila this year, June onwards<br />
would be ideal since Philippine Airlines will resume direct<br />
daily flights from KLIA!<br />
Philippine Airlines Commercial Group Senior Vice President,<br />
David A. Lim speaking at the launch held at The Westin Kuala Lumpur<br />
on February 22<br />
The airline's Senior Vice-President for Commercial Group,<br />
David A. Lim said the flight resumption between both capitals<br />
was in line with the carrier’s route expansion and flight<br />
modernisation after a three-year respite.<br />
Lim said the airline was driven to not only 'sell' Manila to<br />
Malaysian travellers but also to market the Philippines as a<br />
whole and the Americas as well as the Oceania routes.<br />
He added that the reopening was also aimed at capitalising<br />
on the ASEAN economic integration as it would provide direct<br />
access to new business opportunities which included regaining<br />
its market share in Malaysia as it plans to expand code-share<br />
partnership with Malaysia Airlines in domestic flights.<br />
Philippine Airlines stopped its flights to Kuala Lumpur in 2014<br />
largely due to microeconomic factors which included high<br />
fuel prices.<br />
The airline has expanded eight new destinations in 2017 and<br />
plans to expand further till year-end. It currently has 29<br />
domestic flights and 44 international destinations.<br />
