KUALA LUMPUR: It's all go for Malindo Air after it received the air operators licence from the Malaysian government to operate in the country.

Sources said on Tuesday Malindo can now start selling tickets for its low fare operations. It will start flying at end-March.

Malindo is 51% owned by Nadi and 49% by PT Lion Grup, the parent of Indonesia's privately-owned airline, Lion Air, which in turn controls about half of the Indonesia domestic air travel market.
