(03/04/24) Malaysia Airlines has signed a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with IndiGo that will see the two carriers codeshare
on select routes.
Malaysia Airlines will
be able to strengthen its connectivity into India as the marketing
carrier on IndiGo operated flights, while IndiGo customers will be
able to
explore more Southeast Asia destinations through Malaysia
Airlines’ extensive regional network.
This reciprocal arrangement will
allow both carriers to provide seamless connections to their
customers, besides enabling them to enjoy an integrated travel
itinerary among other facilities.
