SEPANG, July 11 — The rebranding of Batik Air after 10 years of being known as Malindo Air is an endeavour that holds much promise and benefits not just the airline, but also the aerospace and air transport industry, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.
“Batik Air will promote the seamless transfers of these passengers via KLIA and further develop the strength of its network with the Lion Group of airlines as well as its partnerships with other airlines. This will enhance the future growth and connectivity for KLIA and the Malaysian aviation market,” he said at the rebranding ceremony and launching of the Boeing 737-8 to mark the beginning of its transformation, here, today.
Wee said the launch of the Boeing 737-8 to Batik Air’s fleet was a milestone in Malaysian aviation as it would be the first airline in Malaysia to operate the aircraft.
