Etihad Airways and Batik Air Launch New Codeshare Partnership

Etihad Airways and Batik Air Malaysia have enhanced their cooperation with the launch of a codeshare partnership to boost connectivity for passengers of both airlines.

Etihad's guests can now seamlessly access eight domestic and international locations via Batik’s hub at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL), enjoying the combined services and networks of both carriers on a single ticket. 

Additionally, guests enjoy the convenience of having their luggage smoothly transferred to their final destination.

The agreement now allows Etihad guests to conveniently travel to five new domestic codeshare destinations in Malaysia: Johor Bahru, Langkawi, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Tawau; along with three international points, Da Nang and Hanoi in Vietnam, and Perth in Australia.

With the agreement, both inbound and outbound Malaysia passengers will have a wider choice of flights on the combined networks.

Batik’s network is now easily accessible to customers, who can connect via its gateway in Kuala Lumpur, served by twice-daily Etihad flights from Abu Dhabi.

This collaboration significantly enhances Etihad's codeshare network, offering travellers seamless access to five key destinations in Malaysia, including the idyllic island of Langkawi, the culturally and culinary rich city of Penang, and Kota Kinabalu, the gateway to Borneo’s tallest peak Mount Kinabalu.

The new codeshare is in operation now, for flights commencing 16 July 2024. The agreement with Batik becomes Etihad’s 38th codeshare partner.
