Malaysia Airlines is taking a big leap in India, announcing the launch of three new routes connecting Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Amritsar (ATQ), Thiruvananthapuram (TRV), and Ahmedabad (AMD) starting from November 2023. This expansion aims to enhance connectivity between Malaysia and India, providing travelers with more options and flexibility.
The airline currently operates direct flights to major Indian cities like New Delhi, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Kochi. The new routes will be served by Boeing 737-800NG aircraft, offering 160 seats, including 16 in Business Class and 144 in Economy Class.
In celebration of this expansion, Malaysia Airlines is offering special introductory fares for travelers, with all-in return tickets starting from INR 16,899 for Economy Class and INR 59,099 for Business Class. These fares are available for purchase until September 15, 2023, for travel between November 8, 2023, and March 31, 2024. Plus, passengers booking during this period can enjoy up to 50% Bonus Enrich Points.
Malaysia Airlines is thrilled to strengthen its presence in the Indian market, recognizing its significance. The airline's average load factor on Indian routes reached an impressive 81% year-to-date as of July 2023, underscoring the growing confidence in travel between Malaysia and India. In the coming months, the airline aims to restore its pre-COVID-19 capacity in the Indian market and increase flight frequencies to various destinations.
In addition to expanding in India, Malaysia Airlines is focusing on other key markets, including Australia, China, and ASEAN. Starting in December 2023, the airline will increase its weekly flights to Melbourne and Sydney, offering more travel options to these popular destinations.
Excitingly, Malaysia Airlines has introduced new product offerings, such as MHsports and MHcruise, to enhance the overall travel experience.

Alma Resort Cam Ranh is transforming Cam Ranh’s cultural landscape with the launch of a breathtaking new live experience, “The Stage – Alma Show.” Debuting on July 5, this grand outdoor spectacle brings together Vietnam’s deep-rooted traditions and heritage with a modern creative touch, thanks to a powerful collaboration between Vietnamese and Korean talent. Set in the resort’s spacious amphitheatre, the show promises to transport audiences on a journey through the country’s rich cultural identity, narrated through stunning performances and visual magic.
The Alma Show is a 70-minute visual journey inspired by the five natural elements—earth, water, fire, wood, and metal—each represented through a dynamic mix of dance, magic, puppetry, and music. With audience engagement at its core, the show begins by honouring the ancient Champa Kingdom through the “Apsara” dance, celebrating the region’s historical roots. Audiences are then led through visually captivating segments, such as a water puppet show representing 'water' and 'wood', dancers crafting a giant lotus flower for 'earth', and a dramatic fire sword act that lights up the night as a symbol of 'fire'. A contemporary interpretation of 'metal' concludes the show with special effects, a vibrant flash mob, and a graceful Ao Dai fashion parade.
Staged twice every evening at 6 pm and 8 pm, the production involves 24 dancers and illusionists, including Jacky (Haesung Kim) and Bui Huu Thien. It is directed by the experienced hands of Jin (Hyukjin Cho) and Terry (Byongkok Jung) of The Stage VN. Jin, well-known for directing the Dana Show and the opening ceremony of the 2002 FIFA World Cup, and Terry, who led magical events like the Dreams Come True Magic Tour, bring unmatched global expertise to this Vietnamese narrative.
Adding to the enchantment is “The Magic and Water Puppet Show,” held twice daily at 11 am and 3 pm. This 50-minute show blends traditional Vietnamese water puppetry and magical illusions. Audiences are immersed in village life, folk tales, and heroic legends through 30 minutes of live puppetry, where puppeteers control intricate puppets in chest-deep water, followed by 20 minutes of spellbinding water-themed illusions. Legendary stories such as ‘Thánh Gióng’, the boy-turned-hero on a flying iron horse, and ‘Emperor Lê Lợi’s Magical Sword’, symbolising Vietnam’s liberation, come alive in front of spectators. Directed by Nguyễn Tiến Dũng, a world champion puppeteer and the artistic director of the Vietnam National Puppetry Theatre, the show is a true tribute to Vietnam’s storytelling traditions.
Herbert Laubichler-Pichler, Alma Cam Ranh’s Managing Director, expressed the vision behind the initiative: “Vietnam has such a rich and fascinating culture, affording so many compelling stories to share about its history, beauty, and resilience. 'The Stage – Alma Show' promises to be a feast for the eyes and to bring any visit to our region and indeed to Vietnam to a whole new level.” Director Jin echoed this sentiment, calling the project “a heartfelt collaboration to honour and reintroduce Vietnam's beauty to the world.”
Both shows are open to the public, and tickets can be purchased at the Alma Promotions Desk or directly at the amphitheatre. With its grand vision and heartfelt execution, Alma Amphitheatre is set to become a must-visit destination for cultural seekers and travellers alike.
