Following the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in April 2024, Malaysia Airlines and IndiGo are pleased to enter a strategic codeshare partnership that aims to boost connectivity and elevate the traveller experience across its key hubs within Malaysia and India.
Through this partnership, Malaysia Airlines customers will gain wider access to destinations within India, as the airline’s flight code “MH” will be added to seven (7) domestic destinations in India, including Kolkata, Varanasi, Patna, Tiruchirappalli, Goa, Bhubaneshwar, and Visakhapatnam. This complements the airline’s current direct routes to nine (9) key hubs in India, including New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar and Trivandrum.
Meanwhile, IndiGo’s “6E” flight code will be added to Malaysia Airlines domestic flights from its main hub at KL International Airport Terminal 1 to destinations including Penang, Langkawi, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching; allowing holidaygoers added travel options to explore the beauty of Malaysia.
Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, Group Managing Director of Malaysia Aviation Group, said, “We are delighted to embark on this codeshare partnership with IndiGo, recognising the tremendous potential of the Indian market for both leisure and business travel. This collaboration allows us to offer Malaysia Airlines customers greater access to India’s rich cultural and economic landscape, while warmly welcoming IndiGo passengers to experience the unique charm of Malaysian Hospitality. This strategic partnership reflects our mutual commitment to boosting tourism growth between our nations, especially with the visa-free entry for tourists between the two countries. Our goal is to provide more travel options, enhanced connectivity, and a seamless travel experience for our valued customers.”
Mr. Pieter Elbers, Chief Executive Officer, IndiGo, commented, “Our collaboration with Malaysia Airlines is another milestone towards enhancing connectivity between India and Malaysia. By leveraging the strengths of both airlines, we are well-positioned to offer a seamless travel experience that caters to the growing demand for both leisure and business travel. This collaboration not only supports our mutual commitment to promoting tourism and economic exchange but also reinforces our dedication to delivering a pleasant customer experience and maximising value for our customers.”

Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.
Please consider making a contribution today.
Thank you for your support.
