Chandran Rama Muthy, CEO of Malindo Air said, “Today is a
new milestone to Malindo Air as we spread our wings to the land of the
rising sun, Japan, which also represents the 17th country that we
service in our network.”
“Japan has always been close to Malaysia, as we share
strong ties through the economy trade, education, as well as food and
cultural exchange. Our first link to Sapporo brings travellers to a city
with cooling weather throughout the year, unspoiled nature and
attractions such as volcanoes and natural hot springs,” he continued.
“We would also like to bring in more international
traffic to Malaysia, in support of boosting local tourism and airport
arrivals. Moreover, we will continue to explore flying into other cities
in Japan,” he added.
There are 3 weekly flights to and from Kuala Lumpur.
Booking is now available at a promotional fare of RM799 for Economy
