Malaysia Airlines has kicked off its India Mall Activation Tour, a multi-city series of immersive showcases designed to connect directly with travellers across India and inspire year-end holiday planning. Featuring experiential zones, destination highlights and exclusive travel promotions, the tour reflects the airline’s continued commitment to strengthening its presence in one of its fastest-growing international markets.
The tour commenced with a vibrant three-day activation at R City Mall, Mumbai held from 14 November to 16 November 2025. Attracting thousands of visitors including families, aviation enthusiasts, travel planners and holidaymakers – the Mumbai showcase brought to life a range of engaging brand experiences, personalised travel insights and special promotions. Strong participation from leading travel partners including Akbar Holidays, Riya Tours & Travels, SOTC, Thomas Cook, Veena World, and Kesari Tours further enriched the event, offering visitors a comprehensive selection of holiday packages and travel options.
Mr. Dersenish Aresandiran, Chief Commercial Officer of Airline Business from Malaysia Aviation Group (MAG) said, “Our aim is to connect directly with travellers and ignite their excitement for discovering new destinations, and we are thrilled with the overwhelming response in Mumbai. India continues to be a key market for Malaysia Airlines, and through these experiential engagements, we hope to inspire even more travellers to explore Malaysia and beyond. We remain committed to delivering our signature Malaysian Hospitality, exclusive travel deals, and seamless connectivity that make every journey with Malaysia Airlines truly memorable.”
Malaysia Airlines also highlighted its expanding connectivity during the activation, including its newly launched Brisbane route supported by Tourism and Events Queensland (TEQ), as well as its popular Sydney service in partnership with Destination New South Wales (DNSW). These collaborations reinforce the airline’s commitment to providing travellers with seamless access to Australia and beyond.
The Mumbai activation featured a line-up of engaging experiential zones that delighted visitors of all ages. Families were particularly drawn to the LEGOLAND zone, which hosted an exciting “Build & Race” challenge where young creators designed and raced their own LEGO Ferrari models across three speed-building sessions. Winners from each round walked away with special rewards, making the activity a standout highlight for children and parents alike.
Football enthusiasts were equally thrilled by the Manchester United-themed engagement zone, which brought the spirit of the iconic club to life through interactive activities, photo ops, and exclusive fan experiences. Leveraging its position as the Official Commercial Airline Partner of Manchester United, Malaysia Airlines brought the partnership to life on-ground, creating an engaging and authentic experience for visitors.
Across the three days, visitors enjoyed special giveaways, exclusive promotions, and memorable interactions that made travel planning both inspiring and enjoyable. Malaysia Airlines’ successful Mumbai showcase reinforced its commitment to engaging with the Indian market and creating meaningful, interactive opportunities for travellers to discover new destinations.
