Singapore Airlines: KrisFlyer Programme Celebrates 25 Years!

SilverKris Lounge
KrisFlyer is marking two major milestones as the Singapore Airline (SIA) Group's lifestyle programme celebrates it's 25th anniversary while also marking the milestone of crossing eight million members in January 2024.

The KirsFlyer reward programme introduced by SIA allows its loyal fliers to explore extensive dining, shopping and a variety of other experiences on top of earning and redeeming miles. As SIA puts it, ‘be rewarded for doing the things you love’. With this, KrisFlyers get to accumulate miles to redeem or upgrade their next flight as well as mix miles and cash to offset the cost of tickets. 

Marking 25 Years to KrisFlyers

SIA launched the frequent flyer rewards system all the way back in 1999, marking its 25th anniversary this year. On this happy occasion, SIA also announced another milestone as the membership programme reached eight million members in January 2024!

Today, KrisFlyer is a market-leading lifestyle-centric rewards programme thanks to the strong support of our members, who enjoy wide-ranging accrual and redemtopn opportunities beyond flights to various needs in their daily life. We look forward to celebrating out 25th anniversary and KrisFlyer’s membership milestone with these wide-ranging promotions. We will continue to find ways to enhance the programme’s value to our members in the coming years says Mr. Dai Haoyu, Acting Senior Vice President Marketing Planning, Singapore Airline.

Malaysia Boosts Tourism with Strong Links to Southern India

Tourism Malaysia: Key South Indian Cities Driving Growth

Malaysia is ramping up its focus on key South Indian cities such as Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Kochi to boost tourism, according to the latest data from the Malaysian Tourism Department. These cities play a pivotal role in Malaysia’s tourism strategy, contributing nearly half of the flights from India to Malaysia.

With 151 weekly flights offering 26,686 seats per week, direct connectivity from Southern India has become a cornerstone of Malaysia’s tourism growth plan. Moreover, Datuk Manoharan Periasamy, Director General of Tourism Malaysia, highlighted the importance of this region, stating, “India has been a key market for Malaysia for over 20 years, and with the upcoming Visit Malaysia Year 2026 (VMY2026), we are targeting 1.6 million Indian travellers. Southern India, with its robust flight connections, is crucial to our growth strategy. The 151 weekly flights and 26,686 seats per week reflect the high demand for travel between Malaysia and the Southern cities of India”

Expanding Malaysia’s Appeal

In addition to strong flight connections, Malaysia is positioning itself as a leading destination for MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, Exhibitions), wedding tourism, and leisure travel. Periasamy emphasized that Malaysia’s appeal lies in its world-class infrastructure and beautiful destinations, offering diverse travel experiences for all kinds of tourists.

One sector that is seeing particularly rapid growth is wedding tourism, with an increasing number of Indian couples choosing Malaysia for their dream weddings. Furthermore, this trend highlights Malaysia’s growing popularity among Indian travelers seeking unique experiences.

Hishamuddin Mustafa, the newly appointed Director of Tourism Malaysia Chennai, reinforced the strategic importance of South Indian cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore, and Kochi. He pointed out that the ease of access provided by 84 weekly flights and 12,395 seats per week makes Malaysia a highly attractive destination for Indian travelers. “Whether it’s for MICE, a dream wedding, or a family vacation, Malaysia has something for everyone,” Mustafa said, underscoring the wide range of experiences the country offers.

In 2024, Malaysia set a new record by welcoming over 1.1 million Indian tourists, marking a significant achievement in its tourism sector. This surge, he noted, reflects the strong relationship between the two countries and the rising demand for travel to Malaysia. Looking ahead, Malaysia aims to attract 1.4 million Indian tourists in 2025 and 1.6 million by 2026, as part of the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 campaign.

Supporting this growth, the visa-free entry policy for Indian travelers, which will remain in effect until 31 December 2026, has simplified travel to Malaysia. As a result, Malaysia has become even more accessible to Indian citizens, further encouraging visits to the country.
