Malindo Air has joined three other carriers in connecting Kuala Lumpur (KUL) in Malaysia with Kathmandu (KTM) in Nepal

On 6 February the LCC, part-owned by Indonesia’s Lion Air, and recently profiled on anna.aero, began serving the route with daily flights using its 737-900s. The 3,264-kilometre route is already served by Malaysia Airlines (twice-daily flights), AirAsia X (daily flights) and Nepal Airlines (six weekly flights). Nepal becomes the sixth country to be served by Malindo Air. From its Kuala Lumpur base the carrier already operates international flights to Bangladesh, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand.
