Traveloka announced on Tuesday a strategic partnership with Malaysia Airlines, marking a significant advancement in domestic and international travel. This collaboration aims to streamline the booking process and offer exclusive benefits, reinforcing Traveloka’s position as Southeast Asia’s leading travel platform. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed at MATTA Fair, Malaysia’s largest travel fair.
This partnership promises an enhanced travel experience by combining Malaysia Airlines’ extensive domestic and international connectivity with Traveloka’s cutting-edge technology. Both companies are committed to delivering seamless, personalised travel solutions that cater to evolving consumer needs.
Caesar Indra, president of Traveloka, said, “Partnering with such an iconic Malaysian brand is a proud moment for us. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our aim to boost tourism by enhancing domestic travel and promoting international destinations. This partnership solidifies our position as Southeast Asia’s leading travel platform and regional industry leader. Most importantly, reinforces our commitment to providing unforgettable, personalised travel experiences that truly resonate with our customer’s aspirations.”
Traveloka’s data reveals a steady increase in demand among Malaysian travellers, with flight searches rising consistently every month since January 2024. Top international destinations from Malaysia include Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and China, reflecting strong interest in outbound travel.
As travel rebounds, domestic demand has also surged, increasing by almost two-fold compared to the previous quarter, with particularly high interest in destinations such as Kota Kinabalu, Penang, and Kuala Lumpur, as Malaysians explore their home country’s diverse offerings.
This trend reflects a shift towards seamless and value-driven experiences, aligning perfectly with the strengths of this partnership.
Dersenish Aresandiran, chief commercial officer of Airlines for the Malaysia Aviation Group, said, “As the gateway to Asia and beyond, Malaysia Airlines, in collaboration with Traveloka, sets a new benchmark in regional travel. By leveraging Malaysia Airlines’ extensive domestic and international connectivity with Traveloka’s advanced technology, this partnership demonstrates a clear commitment to delivering seamless, personalised travel experiences. With a focus on safety, convenience and value, backed by our signature Malaysian Hospitality we are positioned to meet the evolving needs of travellers efficiently and effectively.”
To celebrate this milestone, Traveloka is launching a special promotion featuring discounts of up to RM2,655 on flight products, especially Malaysia Airlines and a variety of travel products. This special offer is part of the ongoing Traveloka Travel Fiesta campaign, happening from 26 August until 22 September 2024.
