We are deploying our newest B738 aircraft on this route to bring the comfort level of guests to a higher level.”
“New aircraft with modern interiors, great in-flight entertainment, and authentic Indian in-flight cuisine adds to our special ‘Malaysian Hospitality’ delivered by our award-winning crew. Competitive pricing plus 30kg of checked-in baggage for Economy and 40kg for Business Class makes Malaysia Airlines an excellent choice to travel to the Indian sub-continent. It’s a winning proposition for our guests.” He added further.
Collaboration between Malaysia Airlines and the Taj Group of Hotels of India inked last year, presents traditional and popular Indian regional signature dishes. These have been incorporated into Malaysia Airlines’ in-flight menu to give passengers an authentic and exquisite taste of Indian gastronomic delight even before they arrive in India.
Given the timings of the daytime flights, customers avoid wasting time on travel and arrive early in the day, at 11.45am into Mumbai. This gives them extra time to spend in the city of dreams. The daytime frequencies have also improved Malaysia Airlines’ connectivity to and from Australia, New Zealand and other ASEAN points .
