Thiruvananthapuram, India – June 2025: Malaysia Airlines has officially added a Saturday flight to its Thiruvananthapuram–Kuala Lumpur route, enhancing the frequency to five flights a week. The route previously operated on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the new addition reflects the airline’s commitment to improving connectivity for travelers from South India, especially those heading to Australia, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia.
Increased Frequency for Better Flexibility
The new Saturday flight provides passengers with greater flexibility in travel planning and offers more options for those looking to avoid the crowded and often pricier metro city airports like Chennai or Bengaluru. This is especially beneficial for international students, business travelers, and tourists from southern Tamil Nadu and Kerala, regions traditionally underserved by direct international flights.
Current Weekly Flight Schedule – Malaysia Airlines (TRV–KUL):
- Sunday

- Saturday (New Addition)
Affordable International Travel from Tier-2 Cities
By expanding its services from Thiruvananthapuram, Malaysia Airlines continues to make international travel more accessible and affordable for travelers outside India’s metropolitan hubs. With competitive fares and excellent connectivity via Kuala Lumpur, the airline is positioning itself as a strong choice for budget-conscious travelers heading to destinations like Sydney, Melbourne, Auckland, and beyond.
Seamless Connectivity via Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is a major transit hub in Southeast Asia, offering smooth layovers and minimal transit times for passengers heading to Oceania, East Asia, and ASEAN countries. Malaysia Airlines’ growing network supports quick and convenient transfers, often with same-day connections.
