KUALA LUMPUR: Berjaya Property Bhd’s aviation arm, Berjaya Air, will launch its first international routes with charter services from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport to Koh Samui and Medan.
In a statement, the company said the inaugural international flights are scheduled to commence on April 22, operating business-class-only services designed for travellers seeking seamless regional escapes and a boutique flying experience.
The charter services will operate three times a week for each route, offering travellers regular and convenient access to Koh Samui and Medan as part of Berjaya Air’s growing regional network
Berjaya Property group CEO Syed Ali Shahul Hameed said the new international routes reflect the group’s vision of enhancing regional connectivity while supporting the growth of lifestyle travel across Southeast Asia.
He said Berjaya Air plays an important role in connecting travellers to lifestyle destinations across the region, adding that linking Subang to leisure gateways such as Koh Samui, Medan and Redang makes it easier to access some of Southeast Asia’s key island and cultural destinations.
“This approach reflects our belief that regional travel is increasingly about meaningful, high-quality connections between destinations. As travel demand continues to evolve, Berjaya Air responds to this shift by offering a premium, business-class-only experience designed for travellers who value comfort, exclusivity, and the ability to reach exceptional destinations with ease,” Syed Ali said.
Meanwhile, Berjaya Air general manager Mohd Amri Mohd Akib said the direct connection to Koh Samui reduces travel time from about four hours via ferry or bus transit to just a two-hour direct flight, allowing travellers to reach their destination faster and with greater ease.
“At the same time, regional travel is moving toward smaller, high-quality networks rather than purely volume-driven routes. Our priority is to connect lifestyle destinations where demand is steady and the experience matters. When the destination is special, the journey should feel seamless and without hassle."
Berjaya Air said the flights will be operated on a 26-seat, all-business-class ATR 72-600 designed to offer a spacious cabin environment and refined comfort.
