AirAsia, which previously operated 12 flights per week from Kochi to Kuala Lumpur, announced additional flights from Kerala to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The new route originates in the southern Indian city of Thiruvananthapuram, often known as Trivandrum.
AirAsia Announced Flights From Thiruvananthapuram To Kuala Lumpur
Beginning on February 21, 2024, this new route will operate four times a week. It is anticipated that tourists from all walks of life will be drawn to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia’s capital city, for its incredible attractiveness. The vibrant city of Kuala Lumpur is home to many architectural wonders, delectable regional food, charming markets, and much more.
Since starting flights to India in 2008, when it was still called Tiruchirappalli, the airline has been connecting travellers from India to the rest of the world. The airline will operate its ninth route from India to Malaysia with the opening of this new link. At the moment, AirAsia runs two direct routes from Northern India, via AirAsia X (D7), to Malaysia, and six direct routes from South Indian cities, via AirAsia Malaysia (AK): Chennai, Tiruchirappalli, Hyderabad, Kochi, Bengaluru, and Kolkata.
Riad Asmat, AirAsia Malaysia CEO, stated that this new connection to Thiruvananthapuram, a historically significant city in India, allows them to further bolster their presence there. When they started progressively returning to their main locations in India after the pandemic last year, it was a historic turning point for them.

With regard to international aviation connections between the two countries, they account for 47% of the market.
Malaysian Travellers Have Changed Indian Tourism Sector
They have significantly changed the Indian travel industry over the past fifteen years and made it more affordable for millions of tourists to visit Malaysia and other countries. In order to assist the tourism sector and promote air travel to Thiruvananthapuram and other Indian cities, they are eager to collaborate closely with the state government.

They have no doubt that this growth will enhance AirAsia’s steadfast dedication to offering accessible and reasonably priced travel as well as promote cultural exchanges between Malaysia and India.
They are excited to explore the world of opportunities that their guests will have with them thanks to this new route, which will provide them with an unmatched combination of colourful cultures, varied landscapes, and unforgettable experiences.
