PETALING JAYA: When Batik Air Malaysia began operations in 2013, it had only two aircraft as part of its fleet. Come 2026, however, Batik Air Malaysia has not only continued to fly, but in fact, soared to greater heights, boasting a fleet of more than 50 aircraft including seven A330, with the rest being the B737 MAX/NG models. Batik Air Malaysia, Chandran said, brought in more than nine million passengers to Malaysia and beyond last year. Reflecting on Batik Air Malaysia’s growth, Chandran said they can now proudly say the airline is now a household name among consumers. Chandran also stressed that the focus of Batik Air Malaysia is always to improve its service.
