Batik Air Malaysia (BAM) will start flying the Airbus A330 to Brisbane from next week. The aircraft will operate the scheduled OD157/OD158 route KUL-DPS-BNE-DPS-KUL. The A330 will not replace the Boeing 737MAX, but will operate alongside it on alternating days.
The flight arrives as OD157 at 22:00, and departs as OD158 at 07:45ish the following day.
OD158 (BNE-DPS) A330 services in June (all other days opby B38M):
- 17th of June
- 18th of June
- 20th of June
- 22nd of June
- 24th of June
- 27th of June
- 29th of June
The A330s do continue after June, but they're a bit random (sometimes there's three A330s in a row, sometimes there are no A330s all week). It looks like the A330 will always operate the flight on Monday morning, usually operate on Thursday and Saturday, and occasionally do a Tuesday flight.
Batik Air Malaysia operates two Airbus A330s:
- 9M-LFC is an A330-343E (LN1481)
- 9M-LFD is an A330-343X (LN1411)
For those chasing new types, sorry to disappoint but VietJet already operates both these types to Brisbane. Both aircraft are former AirAsiaX airframes, with a different livery on each and different build type. BAM took delivery of both around this time last year.
Happy hunting!
