Malindo Air CEO discusses competitive dynamics in Malaysian market

Malindo Air CEO Chandran Rama Muthy, speaking at the CAPA Asia Pacific Aviation Awards for Excellence, stated (16-Nov-2016) that competing against Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia is "not easy. In Malaysia we have two giants. We respect who they are but we believe we have the competitive advantage with our product, with our service offering". He added that "At Malindo we market the product rather than the personality". Mr Chandran also said that it is level playing field in Malaysia and the Malaysian government is receptive to Malindo's objective of growing transit traffic at Kuala Lumpur International Airport. Malindo received the CAPA Asia Pacific 2016 Regional Airline of the Year Award.
