Batik Air Malaysia (formerly known as Malindo Air) is a Malaysian full-service airline and a subsidiary of Indonesia's Lion Air Group. Headquartered in Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, the airline operates domestic and international flights across Asia-Pacific, South Asia and the Middle East. It was established in 2013 under the name Malindo Air, offering a hybrid service model that combined low-cost fares with selected premium services.
In 2022, the airline adopted the Batik Air Malaysia brand, reflecting Lion Air Group's initiative to consolidate its full-service carriers under a unified identity. The rebranding also enhanced its synergy with Batik Air (Indonesia), aligning operational and branding strategies to enhance connectivity and competitiveness in the aviation sector.
With its primary hub at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, Batik Air Malaysia utilises a modern fleet, including Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A330 aircraft, to support its regional and long-haul operations. In 2017, it became the first airline in the world to operate the Boeing 737 MAX 8, marking a significant milestone in its fleet development.
