Air India Express suspends flight to Kuala Lumpur, but continues Singapore route

KUALA LUMPUR (April 30): Air India Express has suspended its service on the Tiruchi-Kuala Lumpur sector from Wednesday.

The move by the state carrier followed restrictions imposed by Malaysia on incoming flights from India in view of the prevailing Covid-19 situation.

In a report citing airport sources, Indian publication The Hindu said Air India Express had been operating flights to the Malaysian capital from Tiruchi under the Vande Bharat Mission.

However, it said the service was suspended in view of the restrictions imposed by the Malaysian government on flights coming from India.

Air India Express, however, continued to operate daily flights to Singapore from Tiruchi, the airport sources further added.
