Credit for the additional airline routes goes to the Langkawi Development Authority (LADA), which leads the drive to bring more airlines to the holiday island off the coast of northern Malaysia.
LADA chief executive officer, Datuk Haslina Abdul Hamid said the route development initiative should support the agency’s efforts to attract 3.5 million visitors to the island this year.
Advance flight information sourced by OAG indicates Batik Air will introduce a weekly service every Sunday between Tashkent and Langkawi, deploying a 162-seat Boeing 737-800.
