Batik Air, formerly known as MalindoAir, on Friday launched direct flights from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to the Maldives.
The airline’s inaugural flight with 121 passengers received a warm welcome with a water salute at a special ceremony at Velana International Airport.

With its extensive network of 50 destinations, including Malaysia, Thailand, and Australia, Batik Air’s entry into the Maldives market is expected to contribute to the country’s growing tourism industry.
The addition of Batik Air’s direct flights, alongside other airlines like Flyness from Saudi Arabia and the upcoming Virgin Atlantic flights from the UK to Velana International Airport, offers travellers from various parts of the world more convenient options to explore the beauty and hospitality of the Maldives.
