KUCHING, Oct 13: A new flight service connecting Miri with the Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport in Subang will commence operations on Dec 1, 2026, providing more air travel options, particularly for those who frequently travel to and from the Klang Valley for work, business, education, healthcare, and family matters.

In a statement, Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts, and Culture Malaysia Chiew Choon Man said this followed meetings with Batik Air representatives.

“Flights to Subang will certainly offer greater convenience, given its location closer to Kuala Lumpur city centre and surrounding areas for many passenger destinations.

“This will provide additional convenience for Miri residents, particularly in terms of accessibility and planning onward ground transportation upon arrival,” said the Miri MP.
