KUALA LUMPUR: Batik Air is now offering direct services to Bangkok from Subang to reinforce the airline’s commitment to developing Subang into a strategic travel hub for the Klang Valley and beyond.
Officials welcomed the inaugural flight from Bangkok during a simple ceremony in Subang on Monday.
Direct flights between Subang and Kuching were also launched on the same day.
This is on top of Batik Air’s flights to Penang, Kota Baru, Kota Kinabalu (BKI) and Tawau via BKI.
In a statement, Batik Air chief executive officer Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy said the airline is proud to connect more cities through Subang, providing passengers with greater convenience and flexibility as an alternative to KL International Airport (KLIA).
“With these new routes, we are not only deepening our presence in Subang but also bringing travellers closer to the destinations they love – whether it’s exploring Bangkok’s vibrant streets or experiencing Kuching’s rich cultural charm,” he said.
Also at the event was director general of Tourism Malaysia Datuk Manoharan Periasamy, who said: “We applaud Batik Air’s commitment to expanding Malaysia’s regional and domestic air connectivity.
“These new routes are timely as we gear up for Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026).
“Thailand remains one of our most important source markets, and enhanced accessibility will play a pivotal role in boosting visitor arrivals and supporting the growth of Malaysia’s tourism industry.”
With the launch of Bangkok and Kuching flights, Batik Air now operates five direct routes from Subang, giving travellers more options when planning their domestic and regional journeys.
The airline said these services reflect the airline’s vision to offer seamless connectivity, enhanced accessibility, and a more convenient travel experience across Malaysia and beyond.
