Malaysian Airlines says it is open to any win‑win partnership with India and currently serves 10 Indian destinations, supported by a strategic codeshare with IndiGo.
The carrier carried about 1 million passengers to India in the first half of 2026, representing nearly 10 percent of its 10.6 million total passengers, with corporate travel up 40 percent and VFR demand up 24 percent; it operates 80 weekly flights on the India network, seeks additional frequencies and slots, maintains a 91 percent load factor, and reports fuel now accounting for 55 percent of operating costs due to the Gulf war.
