Malindo Air

Batik Air Malaysia, originally established as Malindo Air, was founded in September 2012 as a joint venture between Malaysia's National Aerospace and Defence Industries (NADI) and Indonesia's Lion Air. The airline officially commenced operations on March 22, 2013, initially employing a hybrid business model that combined low-cost fares with select premium services. In a strategic move to unify the Lion Air Group's full-service carriers under a common identity, Malindo Air underwent a significant rebranding on April 28, 2022, officially adopting the name Batik Air Malaysia.

The airline's primary operational hub is Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), and it has also utilized Subang Skypark (Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport) as an operational base. Its headquarters are located in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. As of late 2024, Batik Air Malaysia operates a modern fleet that includes Boeing 737-800s, Boeing 737 MAX 8s, and Airbus A330-300s, with an approximate fleet size of 32 to 44 aircraft. Notably, in 2017, it became the first airline globally to operate the Boeing 737 MAX 8.

Batik Air Malaysia operates an extensive route network, offering domestic flights within Malaysia and international services across the Asia-Pacific, South Asia, and the Middle East. The airline currently serves approximately 74 international routes to 20 countries and 21 domestic routes within Malaysia, totaling 100 routes. While not a member of major global airline alliances, Batik Air Malaysia has established interline agreements with several carriers, including All Nippon Airways, Etihad Airways, KLM, Qatar Airways, and Turkish Airlines. As a full-service carrier, it offers Business Class and Economy Class on all flights. Business Class features recliner seats with a 38-inch pitch and individual in-flight entertainment (IFE) on narrow-body aircraft, and angle-flat seats with personal IFE on Airbus A330s. Economy Class seats typically offer a 32-inch pitch. Passengers in both classes receive complimentary snacks and meals, and in-flight entertainment is accessible via personal screens or wireless streaming to personal devices. Checked baggage is included with fares, offering up to 20 kg for Economy and 30 kg for Business Class passengers.
