Malindo Air chief executive officer Captain Mushafiz Bin Mustafa Bakri said;
“Many customers comprising Malaysians and foreigners have reached out to us requesting flights to Kuala Lumpur. Therefore, following the announcement on the reopening of borders for international flights from 1 April, Malindo Air has immediately resumed flights to Lahore (Pakistan); Kathmandu (Nepal); and Dhaka (Bangladesh).”
“Indeed, we are also pleased that the recommencement of our services to Australia and India will allow families to reunite after being separated for so long due to the Covid-19 crisis and global travel restrictions. To avoid inconvenience, may we remind all passengers to check entry and exit requirements before their journeys with travel restrictions still remaining in place in some countries. We are committed to putting health and safety at the forefront of our passenger’s journey.”
Mushafiz also said, “With many countries relaxing their borders to welcome back tourists, we have also started to ramp up our schedules. However, it will take much longer before passenger demand increases, and revenue approaches pre-pandemic figures again. We hope things will turn around soon.”
