Batik Air Malaysia's CEO Chandran Rama Muthy said the airline aims to grow its fleet to around 80 aircraft over the next five years, with an optimum size of 70 aircraft, and plans to add three to four A330‑300s this year to bring its widebody count to about ten.
The expansion is intended to strengthen Kuala Lumpur International Airport as a connecting hub linking Southeast Asia with India, China, Japan and Australia, while also exploring growth from Kuala Lumpur Subang and developing Penang as a smaller hub, and seeking additional traffic rights in India and Australia.
