KUALA LUMPUR: Malindo Air is launching its "Jom Cuti-Cuti" campaign by offering RM50 e-travel vouchers to 6,000 Malaysians for the purchase of flight tickets to any destination within Malaysia.

The airline said today the move was in support of the Stimulus Recovery Plan initiated by the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry to reinvigorate the national economy.

The RM50 e-travel vouchers will be made available as follows:

* Voucher registration period: Nov 25 until Dec 15, 2020

* Validity travel period: Nov 25, 2020 until March 31, 2021

* Voucher redemption: available at www.malindoair.com 14 days from the issuance date of voucher

* Eligibility: Malaysians with valid NRIC. One voucher per NRIC

"The tourism-related industry continues to be one of the sectors hardest hit by the pandemic crisis, and the outlook for a full recovery is extraordinarily uncertain," Malindo Air chief executive officer Captain Mushafiz Mustafa Bakri said in a statement.

He said the ministry's initiative was very timely while the nation waits for international borders to reopen.

"Our primary hope in this campaign is to get people to start travelling again safely, albeit domestically. The ministry has taken impressive action to restore and reactivate the industry.

"The survival of businesses throughout the tourism ecosystem is already at risk," he said.

Mushafiz said, with the Stimulus Recovery Plan, the move by the ministry would cushion any further blows to the industry.
