Malindo Air CEO, Mr. Chandran Rama Muthy, said that the introduction of this new route and many others planned for year 2015 will propel the carrier’s position for the new year.
“Our recent launch of flights to Singapore and newly doubled flight frequency to Bangkok has received enthusiastic response from the public. Our new daily flights to Bandung will also be starting soon on the 19th of this month and sales already look promising. With route expansion into Kathmandu, we are optimistic of capturing a bigger market to further enhance our network and brand. This is indeed very encouraging development for Malindo Air.”
“While we very much focused on expanding ATR operations this year, we’re looking to enhance our capacity and route network further to include Boeing operations. By taking delivery of more aircraft orders, we’re poised to introduce more routes to our widening network in the coming months, strengthening air travel demand within the region. We have ambitious plans for 2015 where we will look at aggressively expanding our brand presence in the region. We will also be introducing strategies to increase ancillary income as well throughout 2015.”
“With oil prices lowering we’re forecasting a booming year for the aviation sector,” he added.
