BATIK Air Malaysia has launched its latest routes from Kuala Lumpur to four more destinations in Indonesia, expanding Batik Air Malaysia’s network to a total of eight cities in the country.

According to the company, flights to Lombok have commenced on July 31, 2024, followed by the inaugural route to Surabaya on August 1.

Additionally, flights to Pekanbaru and Padang will commence on August 10.

In a statement, Batik Air said these new routes will significantly enhance connectivity between Malaysia and Indonesia, providing travellers with more options to explore Indonesia’s diverse attractions.

The airline will be operating 14 weekly flights to Surabaya, four weekly flights to Lombok, and seven weekly flights each to Pekanbaru and Padang.

Batik Air Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy, stated that the new routes will foster stronger ties between Malaysia and Indonesia by promoting greater cultural and economic exchange.

“Expanding our network not only meets the growing demand for travel but also supports economic growth by facilitating smoother business transactions and partnerships,” he commented.

Additionally, he emphasised KLIA’s strategic role as a pivotal Umrah hub, serving as a transit point for pilgrims travelling to Saudi Arabia for Umrah, especially those from Southeast Asia.

Currently, Batik Air is operating direct flights to Jeddah and will soon commence flights to Madinah in August.

“With the addition of these new routes, KLIA’s connectivity and capacity are further enhanced, offering more convenient options for pilgrims and boosting its status as a major international transit hub,” he said.
