New Partnership: IndiGo and Malaysia Airlines Codeshare

A strategic codeshare arrangement was formed between Malaysia Airlines and IndiGo subsequent to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in April 2024. Through this cooperation, the company hopes to improve connectivity and the overall traveller experience at its major hubs in India and Malaysia.

According to a statement on Wednesday, Malaysia Airlines’ internal flights from its central hub in Kuala Lumpur to Penang, Langkawi, Johor Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, and Kuching will now include IndiGo’s flight code ‘6E’. Passengers can connect seamlessly with codeshare.

The Group Managing Director of Malaysia Aviation Group, Datuk Captain Izham Ismail, stated that the airline is thrilled to start a codeshare relationship with IndiGo because it recognizes the enormous potential of the Indian market for leisure and business travel. Presently, New Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Ahmedabad, Amritsar, Trivandrum, and Kolkata are the 10 Indian cities to which Malaysia Airlines offers flights.

“It is a delightful moment for us at IndiGo to formalise this codeshare partnership with Malaysia Airlines. This strategic alliance is a testament to our commitment to bridging the skies between India and Malaysia, unlocking unparalleled connectivity and convenience for our customers in both countries,” Pieter Elbers, CEO of IndiGo.
