Batik Air (previously known as Malindo Air) continues its expansion to the Australasia region with the launch of its
latest route between Auckland (AKL) and Kuala Lumpur (KUL), Malaysia. The new service, which will operate six-times
weekly via Perth (PER), Australia, will be commencing on 25 August 2023.
The introduction of this latest route to Auckland, the gateway to New Zealand, marks another significant milestone in
Batik Air’s ongoing efforts to broaden its footprint both in the Asia Pacific and the global markets.
Additionally, for New Zealanders, this flight will provide connections over PER to the island paradise of Bali (DPS) and
beyond to other routes in Indonesia. The flight will also offer seamless connectivity beyond the Kuala Lumpur
International (KLIA) hub to the Indian Subcontinent, North Asia and ASEAN countries.
Group Strategy Director of Batik Air and Lion Group, Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy said the industry is experiencing high
growth especially from the Australia-New Zealand regions while travellers can also benefit from seamless connectivity to
numerous captivating destinations within the rapidly expanding network of the Batik Air and the Lion Air Group.
"We are delighted to provide New Zealanders with convenient non-stop direct flights to Perth, which offers myriad of
exciting holiday attractions,” he said.
The flight also provides immediate connections over Perth to Bali, the epitome of a fun and relaxing island paradise,
which offers a delightful blend of excitement and tranquillity. This allows
them to discover the captivating charm and cultural richness of the 'Island of Gods' with its pristine beaches, lush
landscapes, captivating art, and deep spiritual traditions.
He also said that the Auckland - Kuala Lumpur route highlights Batik Air’s strong commitment to provide multiple
services for New Zealanders to explore beautiful destinations in Malaysia such as Penang, Langkawi, Kuching, and Kota
Kinabalu.
"With the opening of the Kuala Lumpur-Auckland route, we have accomplished a new feat and increased our connection in
the Australasia market. We hope that tourists from New Zealand will also take advantage of our reasonable rates and
dedicated services to explore Malaysia and beyond, by connecting to one of the other intriguing locations we fly to."
