Flydubai and Malaysia’s Batik Air...

Dubai low-cost airline Flydubai has expanded its network with an interline agreement with Batik Air Malaysia.

The partnership will offer Flydubai passengers access to more than 40 destinations across Batik Air’s network via Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), including Hanoi, Hong Kong, Jakarta, Osaka and Sydney.

The interline agreement will give passengers connectivity between the UAE, Malaysia and beyond on a single ticket with baggage checked-in throughout connecting flights.

Since February 2024, Flydubai has been operating daily services to Langkawi and Penang in Malaysia, serving the market with its fleet of 88 Boeing 737 aircraft.

As a result of the agreement, Batik Air will be able to travel to 38 additional destinations on Flydubai’s expanding network across Africa, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Central and Southeast Europe and the Middle East, from Entebbe and Istanbul to Milan-Bergamo, Prague and Zagreb.

Commenting on the interline agreement, Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer at Flydubai, said: “We are pleased to add Batik Air to our growing list of partners, offering their passengers a smooth travel experience on a young and modern fleet.

“We look forward to offering our passengers more opportunities to explore Southeast Asia and beyond and we remain committed to creating free flows of trade and tourism and supporting Dubai’s position as a thriving aviation hub.”

Batik Air Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy added: "By bringing together the networks of Batik Air and Flydubai, we’re not only making it easier for travellers to connect with new destinations, we’re also strengthening ties between Malaysia and a vast array of global locations.”

Flydubai has opened more than 90 new routes that did not previously have direct air links to the UAE.

The carrier currently operates flights to more than 125 destinations in 55 countries across Africa, South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, the Caucasus, Central and Southeast Europe, and the Middle East.
