Malindo Air confirms return to Australia

International flights are now welcome to Perth and bookings are now open for the relaunch of Malindo Air’s Kuala Lumpur-Perth-Kuala Lumpur service on 3rd March 2022. The twice weekly service marks the airline’s return to Australia after a hiatus of two years due to the international border closure due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Malindo Air launched its inaugural flight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth on 19th November 2015, its first Australian destination.
