Etihad has announced that customers can now travel to five new destinations in Malaysia – Johor Bahru, Langkawi, Penang, Kota Kinabalu and Tawau. The UAE's national airline will codeshare with Batik Air Malaysia.
This will also enable travellers to connect to Hanoi and Da Nang in Vietnam, as well as Perth in Australia.
On a single ticket, passengers can access the combined services of both these carriers. Customers can access these locations via Batik's hub at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL) which is served by twice-daily Etihad flights from Abu Dhabi.
