Malaysian increases flights to Colombo

Malaysia Airli- nes will add a fourth weekly frequency every Thursday on the Kuala Lumpur-Maldives-Colombo-Kuala Lumpur route, effective October 28.

The national carrier currently offers three weekly flights on the route, every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday departing Malaysia at 20:05, arriving in Colombo at 00:45, departing Colombo at 01:45 and arriving again in Malaysia at 07:50.

“We are delighted to offer this new weekly service to cope with the increasing demand from Colombo into Malaysia,” Malaysia Airlines Regional Manager South Asia, Christopher Yek said.
