Batik Air expands domestic network with three new routes

Batik Air is set to enhance its domestic flight offerings with the introduction of three new routes, providing increased connectivity for travellers within Malaysia.

Commencing from February 8, 2024, passengers can enjoy daily flights from KLIA Terminal 1 to Tawau in Sabah, Sibu in Sarawak, and Kota Bharu in Kelantan.

Strategic expansion for seamless travel

The new routes aim to meet the growing travel demands for both business and leisure travellers connecting Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, and Sarawak.

With a commitment to providing seamless connections, the daily service to Tawau (TWU) will depart KLIA at 8:30 am and return from TWU at 11:50 am.

These routes will be operated by Batik Air’s Boeing 737-800 aircraft, offering 12 Business Class and 150 Economy Class seats.

In addition to the daily service to Tawau, KLIA will offer double daily services to Kota Bharu (KBR). Departures are scheduled at 8:30 am and 6:00 pm, with return flights from KBR at 9:25 am and 7:55 pm.

Enhanced connectivity with Batik Air

This increased frequency not only facilitates smoother connections for passengers on Batik Air’s domestic routes but also enables travellers originating from Kota Bharu to connect conveniently to Jeddah flights via the KLIA hub for Umrah purposes.

Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy, Batik Air’s Group Strategy Director, expressed his excitement, saying, “These new routes showcase our dedication to meeting our passengers’ evolving needs. It’s about making travel smoother and more enjoyable, offering seamless experiences, and opening doors to international destinations.”

He added, “The launch of these routes isn’t just about flights; it’s about bringing communities together across Asia. It’s our way of contributing to economic growth and strengthening connections across the region.”

Batik Air, known for its commitment to passenger satisfaction, offers various amenities, including pre-purchased meals and additional baggage allowances at discounted rates. Onboard, passengers can also purchase meals and drinks, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable travel experience.
