Etihad Airways and Batik Air Malaysia have enhanced their cooperation with the launch of a codeshare partnership to boost connectivity for passengers of both airlines.
Additionally, they enjoy the convenience of having their luggage smoothly transferred to their final destination.
The agreement allows Etihad guests to travel to five new domestic codeshare destinations in Malaysia from Batik’s hub in Kuala Lumpur (KUL): Johor Bahru, Langkawi, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Tawau; along with three international points, Da Nang and Hanoi in Vietnam, and Perth in Australia.
Etihad operates twice-daily flights from Abu Dhabi to KUL.
Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy, CEO of Batik Air Malaysia, said: "Through this partnership, we aim to welcome visitors globally to explore Malaysia's diverse attractions, alongside destinations across South-East Asia and more.
“We aim to establish KUL as a transit hub, further enhancing Etihad's connectivity for its passengers, ensuring a more comprehensive and convenient travel experience,” he said, adding that Etihad passengers can easily transit through KUL to reach various destinations in Malaysia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and beyond.”
The new codeshare is already in operation.
