Malindo Air KK to Japan Flights

KK to Japan Flights Malindo Air

Good news for Sabahans as there have been some major plans for Malindo Air KK to Japan flights.

This plan to have direct flights to Japan will benefit both countries as Kota Kinabalu is also one of the top destinations in Malaysia that the Japanese prefer to visit.

This news was also announced officially by the Sabah State Assistant Tourism Minister Datuk Pang Yuk Ming at the Japan Week in Kota Kinabalu.

Kota Kinabalu to Japan Flight via Malindo Air

Prior to this, Malindo Air has already been doing charter flights from Tokyo to Kota Kinabalu and the response has been quite good.

One of the main reasons for the Sabah charter flights is that Japanese tourist prefers not to transit and fly directly. Sabah has also seen a total of almost 23,000 Japanese visitors to the state in 2016. 

Apart from the mainstream news of having Malindo Air KK to Japan flights, the airline has not confirmed anything to date.

Recently on the 17th of January, Malindo Air launched its KL Sentral Check-In Counter and also the Malindo Air Ticketing Office at KL Sentral.

During the launching, the CEO Mr. Chandran Rama Murthy announced that Malindo Air has been operating in its fourth year now and has expanded to 41 cities all over Asia and flew over 12 million passengers to date. They currently operate 42 aircraft, 16 ATR72-600, and 26 Boeing 737NG planes.
