KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian Airlines announced on Monday that they believe the India market holds the key to growth potential and said it would boost flights into the country as well as between tier two cities. “We are looking at more connectivity to India and are evaluating the market here,” Malaysian Airlines' general manager for western India, Nur Shaffik Haris, told PTI. The airline, he said, is looking at secondary points in the next phase of expansion in India, he said. India, currently the 9th largest aviation maket in the world, is expected to become the third largest by 2020, according to the Center for Asia Pacific Aviation (CAPA) and air transport IT specialist, SITA. Malaysian Airlines plans to operate five additional services on the Mumbai-Kuala Lampur-Mumbai sector between May 13-31 to cater to the holiday passengers, he said. The new services would be in addition to the 40 weekly scheduled flights. “Apart from the Malaysia-bound passenger, we also ferry a good number of transit passengers for destinations like Singapore, Thailand and Indonesia, besides carrying some passengers bound for Australia and New Zealand,” he added.
