Malaysia's hybrid airline Malindo Air today
announced it would commence Ipoh-Singapore-Ipoh daily services from July 14,
2015, deploying its first Boeing aircraft, B737NG.
The daily service will depart from Changi
Airport (Terminal 3) at 10.00 and arrive at Sultan Azlan Shah Airport, Ipoh at
11.25. From Sultan Azlan Shah Airport, the flight will depart at 12.10 and
arrive at Changi Airport (Terminal 3) at 13.30.
The new Ipoh-Singapore sector is a part of
the airline’s route expansion and enhancement plan with the delivery of two
B737NG aircraft, which will boost the fleet size to a total of 21, comprising
10 Boeing aircraft and 11 ATR 72-600. Six more B737NG jets are expected to be
delivered by December 2015.
Malindo Air CEO, Chandran Rama Muthy, said:
“The airline is fast expanding with its plan to connect to more domestic and
international cities. We would be adding new aircraft to the fleet, where two
out of eight aircraft orders have arrived and we are immediately adding
frequencies and deploying them to new regional routes.”
Ticket sales are now open, with promo fares
from RM128 (US$34) one-way inclusive of 20kg baggage allowance, in-flight
entertainment and light refreshments.
Just
last month, Tigerair too, inaugurated its Singapore-Ipoh route with four-weekly services.
