KUALA LUMPUR, June 11\u00a0—\u00a0Malindo Air is resuming flights to almost all its domestic destinations in Malaysia beginning tomorrow\u00a0as the government gradually relaxed rules on travel and social restrictions.<\/p>\n

In a statement today, the airline said the reinstated scheduled services include daily flights from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang to Kota Bharu; Penang; Alor Setar; Johor Bahru; Kuala Terengganu; and Langkawi, while\u00a0Ipoh to\u00a0Johor Bahru services to resume with three flights a week.<\/p>\n

Chief executive officer\u00a0Capt Mushafiz Mustafa Bakri said the gradual opening up of air travel is likely to be progressive, starting with domestic markets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cWe will certainly reinstate our international services around the networks in stages once the global health situation improves and regulatory restrictions are fully lifted.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope travellers will be eager to recommence travel soon, which would benefit the industry again,\u201d he said adding that travellers flying with Malindo Air are required to understand and strictly adhere to and comply with health and immigration requirements\u00a0and the travel restrictions set up by the government.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThis re-start to our domestic travel by lifting the travel restrictions is an important part of the economic recovery as about 10 per cent\u00a0of the world\u2019s gross domestic product is from tourism and much of that depends on air travel,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Malindo is also offering\u00a0Balik Raya\u00a0promotion\u00a0from RM199 one-way fare for travel within Peninsular Malaysia from Subang Airport; from RM289 one-way fare for travel between KLIA and Kuching; and from RM389 one-way fare from KLIA to Kota Kinabalu, with\u00a0booking and travel period from now till June 21, 2020 and now till Sep 27, 2020, respectively.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cA passenger redeeming his voucher in March 2021 will be able to book his flight up to February 2022.<\/p>\n

\u201cMalindo Air is also permitting passengers to transfer the value of the Travel Vouchers to family and friends or use it as Gift Vouchers,\u201d the airline said.<\/p>\n
