Batik Air Malaysia Launches 2 New Routes to Thailand
Hat Yai is one of the popular gateways to southern Thailand’s beaches, apart from the culture and shopping. However, Krabi is known for its proximity to the Phi Phi Islands and is highly popular among Malaysian and international tourists. Last year, 4.62 million Malaysians visited Thailand, highlighting the strong interest in these destinations.
Hat Yai is renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, which combines bustling markets like Kim Yong with its rich cultural heritage. The city’s charm is evident in its lively street food scene and attractions, such as the serene Hat Yai Municipal Park. Beyond the urban hustle, Hat Yai acts as a gateway to southern Thailand’s pristine beaches and natural beauty.
On the other hand, Krabi is a haven for nature lovers and adventure seekers. Its stunning limestone cliffs, clear turquoise waters, and picturesque islands like Railay Beach and the Phi Phi Islands make it a prime destination for relaxation and exploration. The Krabi Emerald Pool and other natural wonders in Krabi offer a serene retreat and a chance to connect with the region’s breathtaking beauty.
Batik Air CEO Chandran Rama Muthy emphasized that these new routes respond to growing demand and aim to provide exceptional travel experiences.
Based at Kuala Lumpur International Airport’s (KLIA) Main Terminal, Batik Air operates a fleet with four A330-300 widebodies and 38 Boeing 737 aircraft, including 737 Max units. As part of Indonesia’s Lion Group, the airline serves over 50 destinations across 20 countries.
The flights to Krabi and Hat Yai will use Boeing 737 aircraft, which features a two-class configuration: 2-2 recliners in business class and a 3-3 layout in economy.
Additionally, Batik Air has recently introduced a premium terminal transfer service for business class passengers at KLIA. In partnership with Kia, this service offers chauffeured rides in electric Kia EV9 limousines and the latest Kia Carnival model.
