In a statement here, Malindo Air chief executive Chandran Rama Muthy said the fourth daily flight on the KL-Singapore route will start together with the carrier’s daily routes to Kathmandu in Nepal from Feb 6. “Since launching thrice daily flights to Singapore early last month, our services have received encouraging response from the public,” said Chandran. The new flight will depart KLIA2 at 3.05pm and expected to arrive in Singapore at 4.05pm. The return flight will leave the republic at 4.50pm and arrive at KLIA2 at 5.50pm daily. Malindo Air’s current Singapore-bound Malindo flights now depart from KLIA2 at 8am, 11.45am and 5.55pm. KL-bound flights leave Singapore daily at 10am, 1.40pm and 7.55pm.

DavidC 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) Anyone tried taking OD205 to Delhi? Flights to India does not seem to get a good review from Google search. Took OD205 KUL/DEL. I have only praises for the flight. It was a good flight arriving DEL +/-2130 local time. Good time to arrive as the big flights have either touched down way before or yet to arrive. OD was the only flight arrive DEL at that time; needless to say, there was no one at the immigration. Beside, DEL is well laid out and good airport, unlike BOM. Overall, I would rate the flight an 8 our of 10. In addition, the 739 is a pleasant aircraft with good IFE in its own category. The IFC was also impressive for Biz Class. Note: I got Biz Class seat for only RM950 one way. I would take OD205/206 for my future trips to DEL definitely. Both sector is 90% full. Biz Class pax are according ITC Lounge at DEL; the same lounge used by QR. Edited December 27, 2014 by DavidC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chookyan 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2014 Was on B737-900 ER OD801 to Singapore on Christmas Day . I have only praises for this airline. We were seated together at Row 7 without even being ask at check in with no extra cost. Some other LCC sells Row 7 as hotseat. Even though it was only an hour flight, being served with drinking water and some rather delicious pineapple biscuits was certainly a bonus. Touch screen IFE works well and with USB, just bring your own headphone, seats comfortable with good leg room. Returned on B737-800 OD804, a rather new plane and I rate the IFE screen better than the B737-900 ER. Flight departed late due to late arrival from KL, and the captain apologise and keep us informed as the flight progresses, another good selling point. I will definitely use Malindo for my monthly KL-SIN-KL runs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Y. J. Foo 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2015 Not sure if this has been brought up before, but apparently OD has launched a few new routes, among them IPH-KBR vv. Only time will tell if this route will work. Hope it does! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Bandit 0 Report post Posted January 22, 2015 Not only IPH-KBR, but KTE-JHB and KUA-JHB. Malindo Air is trying hard to provide connections outside main hub. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flee 5 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 Nobody wants to go to KCH. Unfortunately, KCH is a poor business case. So many airlines have operated there in the past but the business was not sustainable. For KCH to get more air services, the local population must support them by flying on them more often. The state of Sarawak should also do more to attract tourists. Tourism infrastructure is quite poor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Bandit 0 Report post Posted January 24, 2015 (edited) I really doubt about their new 6 or 7x daily frequencies on BKI routes with current 737 fleet they had now. One delay, second will delay in power of two, and so on.. Edited January 24, 2015 by Wan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JuliusWong 0 Report post Posted January 25, 2015 Kuching is a gone case since long ago. Too close to Singapore to make a dent, tourism infrastructures are in shambles, there isn't a single highway in Sarawak! The current road are loaded with potholes etc...the list go on and on.......Sad to my own home country. The only viable option now is to develop Miri now to fly destinations that Sarawakians and Brunei-ans like to fly a lot 9and Royal Brunei has not enough flight/ capacity). Bruneians are flying a lot nowadays, but the RB tickets are expensive and low flight frequencies. They can try a Miri hub to fly to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Taipei. Feed flight from rest Borneo. However this will require a lot of work though. How they are gonna package the whole sales and promotion will either fly or tank the company.
