Company Profile
Batik Air Malaysia (formerly known as Malindo Air) (IATA Code: OD; ICAO Code: MXD) is the result of a cooperation between Malaysia’s National Aerospace and Defence Industries and Indonesia’s Lion Air. Hence, the name Malindo from Malaysia and Indonesia. It operates from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) and the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (Subang Airport, Subang SkyPark, or LTSAAS). Starting with domestic flights, it is currently operating 40 routes to domestic Malaysian and international destinations, such as Indonesia, Bangladesh, Thailand, Australia, India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Singapore, and Pakistan. Considering the fact that the airline offers low, competitive fare while also giving premium in-flight services, Batik Air Malaysia (formerly known as Malindo Air) counts as a hybrid airline. The airline has received, 2 years in a row in 2017 and 2018, APEX Four Star Major Regional Airlines. It also has been awarded as Malaysia Best Employer Brand Awards 2018, TOP Recognition - Malaysia SME® Preferred Airline Partner, CAPA’s 2016 Asia Pacific Regional Airline of the Year and Airline of the Year (Passenger) at the KLIA Awards 2014.

Batik Air Malaysia (formerly known as Malindo Air) was established as a joint venture in 2012 by the National Aerospace and Defence Industries of Malaysia and Indonesia’s Lion Air which is the reason why it is named Malindo – from Malaysia and Indonesia. Its first flight was in March 22nd 2013, from its base in Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. From there on, the airline expanded to offering international flights to countries in the region such as Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Singapore, Australia and Pakistan. Its first international flight was only a few months after its inaugural flight, on 28 August 2013 to Dhaka, Bangladesh. In 2014, the airline announced its new flight route in 2015: Kuala Lumpur to Visakhapatnam, India, making it the only carrier to fly directly there. The same year, it also started a new route from Ipoh to Singapore, followed by Penang to Trichy. An inflight service upgrade was also done with the addition of Malindo WiFi and Malindo Mobile, as an enhancement of the B737-900ER fleet. On 28 April 2022, Malindo Air was rebranded as Batik Air Malaysia.Flight Attendant
