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. MHsports caters to groups of five or more people traveling for sporting purposes, offering perks like special fares, extra baggage allowance, flexible date and time changes, and the convenience of extending your journey with a flexible return date.
On the other hand, MHcruise provides special discounted fares designed to seamlessly integrate with cruise packages. Travelers can enjoy discounted fares, special rates for kids under 12, extra baggage allowance, and preferential fares on both Business and Economy Class seats. This flexibility extends to choosing one-way or return trips to various destinations within the Malaysia Airlines network, making travel planning hassle-free.

IHG Hotels & Resorts is set to introduce its voco brand to Malaysia, announcing the opening of voco Kuching in 2026. This marks IHG's return to Kuching, Sarawak, after a 16-year hiatus.
The global hospitality group has partnered with Malaysian real estate developer Elica Equity to create this 321-room hotel, which will be part of a 12-storey mixed-use development. This development represents the redevelopment of the former independent Century Hotel, reimagined to reflect voco’s distinctive brand identity.
Located just 15 minutes from Kuching's city centre and five minutes from Kuching International Airport, voco Kuching promises to offer a mix of modern amenities and unparalleled convenience. The hotel will feature a swimming pool, an all-day dining café, a lounge, a fitness centre, and extensive meeting spaces spanning over 2,400m². A highlight of the property is its ballroom, which can host up to 1,300 guests, alongside versatile function rooms suitable for various events.
Patrick Finn, Vice President of Development for IHG Hotels & Resorts in South East Asia & Korea, expressed enthusiasm about the project:
“These are exciting times for IHG in Malaysia as we are on track to almost double our estate in the next few years with a pipeline of fantastic hotels that include the debut of voco hotels and luxury & lifestyle brands Regent and Kimpton. Together with Elica Equity Sdn. Bhd., we are committed to bringing voco hotels’ signature delightful and uplifting experiences to the market and attracting more visitors to this beautiful destination in Southeast Asia.”
This addition expands voco’s global portfolio, which currently boasts 77 operational properties and 80 in development. voco Kuching will be IHG’s first hotel in Sarawak and a key player in strengthening the region’s appeal as a premier destination for both business and leisure travelers.
In a significant development to bolster tourism ties, Israel and the Philippines have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during Minister of Tourism Haim Katz's visit to Manila. This landmark agreement, signed with Christina Garcia Frasco, the Philippines’ Secretary of Tourism, focuses on marketing, aviation, innovation, and digitization, along with cooperation in international organizations.
Minister Katz, during his working visit, delivered a keynote speech at the Philippine Travel Agencies Association's annual conference and engaged with journalists, influencers, and key stakeholders from the tourism sector.
A notable highlight of the visit was the discussion on resuming direct flights between Manila and Tel Aviv. In a meeting with the President and CEO of Philippine Airlines (PAL), plans were outlined to launch this route in the second half of 2025, facilitating smoother travel for Filipino tourists to Israel.
This initiative aligns with the increasing number of Filipino visitors to Israel, which ranked fifth among incoming tourists in 2024, with 40,000 visitors - primarily for religious purposes. Minister Katz emphasized that the planned direct route would strengthen economic and tourism ties, making Israel's holy sites more accessible to Christian tourists, particularly during the Christian Jubilee Year in 2025.
Minister Katz shared, "The Philippines is a key country in Asia, and its citizens view Israel as a must-visit destination. We are committed to strengthening tourism ties and enhancing cooperation between our nations."
Philippines Secretary of Tourism Christina Garcia Frasco added, "Israel and the Philippines share a tradition of warm relations and a shared faith. Through this agreement, we aim to foster sustainable and accessible tourism while deepening our cultural bonds."
The Christian Jubilee Year in 2025 presents a unique opportunity for religious tourism, offering pilgrims the chance to receive the "Certificate of Forgiveness" declared by the Pope. The Israeli Ministry of Tourism is gearing up for this occasion with focused marketing initiatives, including roadshows, seminars, and collaborations with influencers in the Philippines.
Tourism relations between Israel and the Philippines have been anchored in a 1987 agreement. The new MoU sets the stage for broader collaboration in the future, ensuring mutual growth in tourism and strengthening the warm ties between the two nations.
