Batik Air's CEO said the airline can quickly deploy aircraft to meet domestic demand if needed.

Malaysia's government has queried Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air about taking over AirAsia's market due to AirAsia's financial concerns.

Batik Air operates 51 aircraft, serving over 60 destinations, with 4.5 million passengers in 2023 and 6.6 million in 2024.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 16 — Batik Air is able to bring aircraft in quickly to absorb or help with the domestic market demand if required, says its chief executive officer Datuk Chandran Rama Muthy.

He was responding to a foreign news report today that Malaysia’s government has asked Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air whether they could absorb AirAsia’s domestic market share as authorities continue to monitor the financial health of the low-cost airline.

In a short response to Bernama, Chandran, however, did not mention whether talks are ongoing on the matter.
