(Batik Air pic) KUALA LUMPUR : Batik Air is taking bold steps to expand Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang (SZB) into a dynamic hub, beginning with the launch of its first international route from the city airport, commencing July 28, 2025. The airline will operate daily flights to Bangkok Don Mueang International Airport (DMK), marking a momentous milestone in the airline's growth and in the revival of Subang as a key aviation gateway. On the same date, Batik Air will also commence daily flights to Kuching International Airport (KCH), further strengthening domestic connectivity from Subang. This exciting expansion is part of Batik Air's commitment to transform SZB into a vibrant city airport hub. Batik Air chief executive officer, Chandran Rama Muthy, said the launch signifies a new chapter, one where travellers can enjoy the convenience of flying closer to the city while still accessing a growing regional network. 'We are proud to be at the forefront of Subang's transformation into a modern, city-based hub. Bangkok is just the beginning. 'Subang offers a smart, time-saving alternative to KLIA, and we believe it will play an increasingly important role in the future of Malaysian aviation. With Subang, we are bringing the world closer to the Klang Valley,' he said. Batik Air is also commencing daily flights to Kuching International Airport from Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang on July 28, 2025. (Batik Air pic) The SZB-DMK route, operating seven times weekly, opens up a seamless connection to the Thai capital – an all-time favourite for Malaysian travellers in search of culture, cuisine, shopping, and adventure. With Subang's close proximity to urban centres like Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and Kuala Lumpur, the over nine million Klang Valley residents can now enjoy swift departures and arrivals without the long commutes typically associated with larger airports. Simultaneously, the launch of SZB-KCH, also operating daily, enhances access to Sarawak's capital city, a vital hub for business, government, education, and tourism. The route provides East Malaysian travellers a city-friendly alternative to KLIA, while inviting more West Malaysians to explore the rich cultural heritage and biodiversity of Borneo. Batik Air operates services from Subang to Penang, Kota Bharu, and Kota Kinabalu, and now Kuching and Bangkok as well. (Batik Air pic) These new services are also expected to attract more visitors from Thailand and East Malaysia to discover the many charms of Kuala Lumpur and Selangor. With its blend of royal heritage, ecotourism, theme parks, shopping, and gastronomy, Selangor continues to shine as a destination in its own right. In addition to the upcoming daily flights to Bangkok and Kuching, Batik Air already operates services from Subang to Penang, Kota Bharu, and Kota Kinabalu – bringing the total to five key destinations served from SZB. As Batik Air continues to grow its network, the reawakening of Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang, signals a new era in city-based air travel where convenience, connectivity, and comfort come together for the benefit of all travellers.
