Responding to strong travel demand and excellent load factors, Malaysia Airlines is set to increase its flight frequency on the Amritsar-Kuala Lumpur route from four to seven times weekly, starting August 1, 2024.
This expansion marks a significant increase from the airline’s previous schedule, which doubled from two to four weekly flights in January 2024, underscoring confidence in this rapidly growing market.
Increased Flight Frequencies in India
With this enhancement, Malaysia Airlines will now operate a total of 71 weekly flights across India. The Amritsar route, launched in November 2023, is one of three new Indian routes introduced last year, alongside Ahmedabad and Trivandrum. The Trivandrum route also saw an increase to four weekly flights as of April 3, 2024.

Malaysia Airlines offers an extensive network in India, covering nine major hubs:
- New Delhi

The airline serves as a vital gateway to Asia and beyond for Indian travellers, providing seamless connections to destinations such as Australia, New Zealand, Vietnam, and other key locations in the Asia-Pacific region.
