CEO of Malindo Air, Capt Mushafiz Bin Mustafa Bakri said, "Malindo Air is committed to deploying our flights and serving the needs of Malaysians traveling across the country. The gradual opening up of air travel is likely to be progressive, starting with domestic markets. We will certainly reinstate our international services around the networks in stages once the global health situation improves and regulatory restrictions are fully lifted. We hope travelers will be eager to recommence travel soon, which would benefit the industry again.”

Mushafiz also said that travellers flying with Malindo Air are required to understand and strictly adhere to and comply with health and immigration requirements, and the travel restrictions set up by the government.

“Malindo Air is fully supporting the government’s effort in gradually relaxing its restrictions during the Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO). This re-start to our domestic travel by lifting the travel restrictions is an important part of the economic recovery because about 10% of the world’s GDP is from tourism and much of that depends on air travel. Getting people safely flying again will be a powerful economic boost,” added Mushafiz.

Malindo Air would like to reiterate that customers whose flights were cancelled due to Covid-19 pandemic crisis will retain the full value of the unused portion of their tickets in the form of Travel Vouchers. The redemption period of the travel vouchers is being extended to 12 months and the travel period will be up to 11 months ahead of the redemption date.

A passenger redeeming his voucher in March 2021 will be able to book his flight up to February 2022. Malindo Air is also permitting passengers to transfer the value of the Travel Vouchers to family and friends or use it as Gift Vouchers.
