Malindo Air Part 3: interline partnerships drive new phase of growth for Lion Group’s Malaysian JV
Malaysia's Malindo Air is focusing on partnerships both within and outside the Lion Group to help support accelerated growth. Malindo now accounts for approximately 8% of traffic at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and will soon link KLIA with over 30 destinations, making it attractive to foreign airlines seeking feed.
Malindo has implemented interlines with Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways over the last four months. It is now in the process of implementing an interline agreement with Oman Air, and aims to have seven interlines in place by the end of 2016.
Malindo is also now working more closely with other airlines in the Lion Group. Malindo recently began selling connections beyond Bangkok on Thai Lion Air, and plans soon to begin selling connections beyond Jakarta on Batik Air.
