Batik Air, a Malaysian airline, has launched direct flights connecting Karachi and Kuala Lumpur, expanding its services beyond the existing daily flights to Lahore.

The inaugural flight on the new route is scheduled to arrive at Jinnah International Airport in Karachi at 7:30 pm. The airline plans to operate three weekly flights on this route, aiming to strengthen connectivity between the two cities and foster relationships between Malaysia and Pakistan.
