Batik Air launches direct Kuala Lumpur-Melbourne flights

Batik Air is excited to unveil a direct A330 flight connecting Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Melbourne (MEL) starting from December 20, 2023.

Catering to the heightened demand for travel to Australia during the peak holiday season, this seasonal flight service will run until February 6, 2024.

Operated by Batik Air’s modern A330 fleet, the flights promise a premium travel experience for passengers.

Seamless travel experience with Batik Air

Batik Air’s Flight OD 175 departs Kuala Lumpur four times weekly – Sundays, Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays at 6:20 pm, reaching Melbourne at 5:15 am (local time) the next day.

The return flight, OD 176, operates on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, departing Melbourne at 6:45 am (local time) and arriving in Kuala Lumpur at 12:10 pm.

Melbourne, known for its gastronomic delights, vibrant theatre scene, and coffee culture, stands out as a sought-after Australian destination.

The city’s cultural richness and sports enthusiasm make it an attractive stopover for VFR (Visiting Friends and Relatives) travellers. This new route adds to Batik Air’s expanding portfolio, connecting Kuala Lumpur to other major cities like Adelaide, Perth, Sydney, and Brisbane.

Exclusive promotional fares

To celebrate the launch, Batik Air is offering special promotional fares, starting from RM899 for one-way Economy Class tickets and RM5,299 for Business Class.

These all-inclusive fares are available for booking until December 10, 2023, for travel between December 20 and December 30, 2023.

Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy, Group Strategic Director of Batik Air, expressed excitement, stating, “This wide-body direct flight to Melbourne is a testament to our commitment to meeting our passengers’ needs.”

Chandran invites travellers to take advantage of the introductory fares while experiencing the warm services offered on Batik Air’s A330 aircraft.

The airline also provides additional perks, including pre-purchased meals and discounted baggage allowances. On-board, passengers can purchase meals and drinks.

This strategic move by Batik Air to introduce direct A330 flights between Kuala Lumpur and Melbourne aligns with the increasing demand for seamless connectivity, particularly during the peak holiday season.
