Batik Air, formerly known as MalindoAir, has recently introduced direct flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to the Maldives, signaling a positive impact on the country's tourism sector. The inaugural flight of Batik Air, carrying 121 passengers, was received with great enthusiasm and celebrated with a special ceremony at Velana International Airport, including a water salute.


The airline has appointed Concierge Group Maldives as its General Sales Agent (GSA) to manage sales, reservations, and ticketing services in the Maldives. With a schedule of 6 direct flights per week connecting Malaysia and the Maldives, Batik Air operates Boeing 737 aircraft, accommodating up to 162 passengers. Leveraging its extensive network of 50 destinations, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Australia, Batik Air's entry into the Maldives market is expected to contribute significantly to the country's flourishing tourism industry.
