Batik Air is celebrating 10 successful years of connecting Perth with Malaysia. The milestone marks a decade of steady growth, stronger tourism links and improved regional travel. Since its first flight in 2015, the airline has played a key role in linking Western Australia with Malaysia and broader Southeast Asia.
The route has become a vital travel bridge for both leisure and business passengers. Over the years, demand has continued to rise as travellers seek easier access to Kuala Lumpur and beyond. The airline’s performance underscores the growing appeal of both Perth and Malaysia as thriving destinations.
A Journey of Growth and Strong Regional Partnerships
To honour the 10-year achievement, Batik Air is hosting celebratory activities at Perth Airport. Travellers can enjoy commemorative displays, special giveaways and themed events throughout the day. The celebrations give passengers a chance to look back on the airline’s decade-long journey in Australia.
Batik Air’s partnership with Perth Airport has been central to this success. The route was the airline’s first entry point into the Australian market, making this anniversary especially meaningful. The collaboration has helped Malaysia grow into one of Western Australia’s top visitor markets. Increased travel between the two destinations has boosted cultural ties and strengthened the tourism economy.
Industry leaders highlight that this connection supports millions in visitor spending each year. The route has fuelled travel flows in both directions, making Western Australia more accessible to Southeast Asian travellers while giving Australians a convenient gateway to Malaysia.

A Future Built on Innovation and Better Passenger Experiences
Batik Air’s leadership views this milestone as both an achievement and a starting point for the next stage of growth. The airline aims to enhance its network with smarter and more connected travel options. Plans include improving comfort, reliability and the overall passenger experience.
Future expansion will focus on stronger regional links and seamless travel through Kuala Lumpur, one of Asia’s busiest aviation gateways. Batik Air intends to invest in service upgrades, improved digital tools and better operational efficiency to support rising demand.
Expanded Flight Options to Meet Growing Demand
Batik Air currently offers seven weekly direct flights between Perth and Kuala Lumpur. In addition, the airline operates seven weekly one-stop services via Denpasar, providing travellers with greater flexibility when planning trips.
With travel demand increasing, the airline will introduce 11 additional direct flights in December 2025. This added capacity aims to support peak holiday travel and boost two-way tourism flow. The move highlights Batik Air’s commitment to supporting economic and tourism growth in both regions.
More flights mean more convenience for families, students, business travellers and holidaymakers. The extra services also help reduce seasonal congestion and enhance connectivity during busy travel periods.
Tourism Boost for Perth and Western Australia
The Perth–Malaysia route has strengthened Western Australia’s tourism industry. Malaysia is now among the state’s most important visitor markets. A steady stream of travellers has supported local hotels, restaurants, attractions and tour operators.
Perth’s appeal continues to rise due to its natural landscapes, vibrant food scene and strong business environment. Direct flights make the city more accessible for Southeast Asian travellers, encouraging longer stays and higher spending.
The route also plays a role in business tourism. It supports corporate travel, education links and trade partnerships. With more flights available, businesses gain easier access to new markets and collaboration opportunities across Asia.
Batik Air’s Role in Long-Term Regional Tourism Development
Batik Air’s continuous investment in its Perth operations supports long-term tourism growth for both Australia and Malaysia. Efforts to expand routes and enhance service quality help stimulate travel demand and economic activity.
The increased flight options strengthen mobility, offering travellers more competitive pricing and improved schedules. Over time, this contributes to sustained growth for the aviation and tourism sectors in both countries.
The airline’s decade-long presence has created a strong foundation for future expansion. As Perth strengthens its position as a key Australian gateway to Asia, Batik Air’s ongoing commitment ensures travellers enjoy reliable and convenient links well into the next decade.
