Malaysia Airlines resumes Kolkata flights

09 Oct 2024 CW Team

Malaysia Airlines is set to restart its direct flights between Kuala Lumpur and Kolkata from December 2, 2024, marking the resumption of this key international route. The direct flights will strengthen air connectivity between Malaysia and India, catering to the growing demand for travel, both for tourism and business purposes.

The Kuala Lumpur-Kolkata route was suspended earlier due to the global pandemic, but the airline is now reintroducing the service in response to increasing passenger demand and the improving conditions for international travel. The restored flights will operate multiple times a week, offering a convenient travel option for passengers looking to travel between the two cities.

This move by Malaysia Airlines aims to facilitate seamless travel between Malaysia and eastern India, opening up more opportunities for tourism, trade, and cultural exchanges. Kolkata, a major business hub in India, will benefit from the increased connectivity with Malaysia, as it is expected to boost both inbound and outbound travel.

The resumption of this route is part of Malaysia Airlines' broader efforts to expand its international network post-pandemic. It reflects the growing revival of the aviation sector, with airlines gradually restoring international routes to meet the demands of global travelers. For passengers, the direct flights will reduce travel time and provide a comfortable and efficient link between the two destinations.

With this service back in action, both countries can expect a rise in tourism and business exchanges, further strengthening their economic and cultural ties.
