22MARCH 2013, an important date in the aviation history of Sabah. A Malindo Air's brand new B737 900ER landed Kota Kinabalu!
Their B737 900ER is fitted with 12 business class and 168 economy class seats offering full inflight services, like personal TV and meals.
The airline would fly to 12 destinations by the end of 2013. They are looking at India, China and Indonesia. "We are now flying with two aircraft and will take delivery of two more in June," the CEO announced during the launching ceremony in Kota kinabalu yesterday. He added that the airline would have a fleet of 12 aircraft by year-end.
Malindo Air is also planning to make Kota Kinabalu a second hub, offering flights to/from Indonesia, Korea, Japan and China direct.
With the new services, Sabah will have an improvement in air connectivity in the region. Let's hope the traveling public can continue to enjoy low fares from Malindo Air.
Will Malindo Air be a threat to Air Asia? In my opinion, Air Asia will definitely lose some traffic if Malindo Air continues to offer low fares with added-on inflight service.
