New fleet, new cities, new airport for Batik Air


Batik Air now flies to Penang from the Subang SkyPark. — Sin Chew

After 22 years, the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport – or Subang SkyPark – in Selangor finally welcomed the first narrow-body jets back to its premises, during an event last week. The jet in question is the Boeing 737 aircraft, operated by local airline Batik Air.

The company also celebrated its return to the Subang Skypark, where in 2013, Batik Air – then operating as Malindo Air – started its first flight services with just two aircraft and two routes: Penang and Kota Baru in Kelantan.
