Come 28th July you can fly to Bangkok DMK from Kuala Lumpur’s ‘city airport’ Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport, Subang (SZB). This is part of Batik Air Malaysia’s expansion of operations at the airport with this first international service.
Batik Air will operate daily flights to Bangkok Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) out of Subang, along with daily flights to Kuching International Airport (KCH) also starting the same date. This expansion is part of Batik Air’s commitment to transforming SZB into a vibrant city airport hub. The airport offers a more convenient and accessible alternative to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), serving over nine million Klang Valley residents who live and work within easy reach of Subang.
The SZB–DMK route opens up a seamless connection to the Thai capital — a favourite for Malaysian travellers in search of culture, cuisine, shopping, and adventure. Subang’s close proximity to urban centres like Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and Kuala Lumpur, Klang Valley residents enables swift departures and arrivals without the long commutes typically associated with larger airports.
However, the road is subject to jams during peak hours, so hopefully the rail link with Subang Jaya will be reinstated before the airport expansion is completed. The international departure lounge has added extra seating and although the duty free outlet does not appear to be operation, there is now a coffee machine in addition to a snack vending machine.
The launch of daily services SZB–KCH enhances access to Sarawak’s capital city, a vital hub for business, government, education, and tourism, offering East Malaysian travellers a city-friendly alternative to KLIA and making it easier for West Malaysians to explore the rich cultural heritage and biodiversity of Borneo.
Subang Airport is located within Selangor, close to Kuala Lumpur and the new services are expected to attract more visitors from Thailand and East Malaysia. With its blend of royal heritage, ecotourism, theme parks, shopping, and gastronomy, Selangor is celebrating VisitSelangor2025, so there’s plenty to see and do.
…. We are proud to be at the forefront of Subang’s transformation into a modern, city-based hub. Bangkok is just the beginning. Subang offers a smart, time-saving alternative to KLIA, and we believe it will play an increasingly important role in the future of Malaysian aviation. With Subang, we are bringing the world closer to the Klang Valley.Chandran Rama Muthy, Batik Air CEO
In addition to the upcoming daily flights to Bangkok and Kuching, Batik Air already operates services from Subang to Penang, Kota Bharu, and Kota Kinabalu, bringing the total to five key destinations served from SZB.
