i regularly use batik air like almost every month once or twice, KL-KCH for more than a year

rarely get delay. of hundreds of flights i took, i think only less than 10 times got delay, max delay period also 45 mins

tak macam airasia puikk babik delay for hours

Im currently on a batik air flight to Kunming waiting for it to move from where it is parked. Have been waiting an hour an a half. The last we heard from the captain was an hour and a half ago, he said technical issues will be resolved in ten minutes.

Just minutes ago the air stewardess told us itll be another 30-45 minutes wait. If their ten minutes was an hour and a half in real time, im now a bit panicky to think about what their 30-45 minutes mean.

Passengers are restless and it is very hot and stuffy inside.

Suddenly reminds me of the last batik air flight i took last year to danang. We were all waiting at the gate, and it was almost an hour late but not allowed to board yet. Suddenly the crew came half running like headless chickens and then rushed us into the plane then we suddenly took off. It feels like the pilots do not perform checks at all?

I experienced both extremes of sudden take off and now a very long delay while already seated in the plane. Both in a situation where i have no control over, cannot reschedule/ too late to decide not to fly with them.

I understand these are isolated incidences but i do have lots of time now to google some reviews of the airline and many of them have worse experiences.

Wonder if i could make a formal complaint to MAVCOM? how does MAVCOM manage the complaints? Do airlines need to have a certain standard or protocol to actually operate? How does MAVCOM check on that? Im sure there are standards to comply, no? At least for us to feel that an airlines is reliable/ safe/ well-thought on troubleshooting and crisis management?

I also understand my complaint would probably not make a difference but i am hoping that if everyone voices out, it will eventually make a difference.

Take batik air occasionally due to timing. Bigger space than firefly, clean n it has the passenger boarding bridge

Malindo ah...

First n last time. Will never book with them again.

I bought a seat. Luckily I check the seats available again. My bought seat is still up for sale. I tried to call them but no hotline.

I hv to call the local 03 number and I hv to keep calling like calling the govt office. Even after calling the local 03 number, they asked me to go physically to the office to rectify the issue. Topkek.

I hv to drive to the Malindo office just to rectify the issue. Serious!! Over there only they can help to rectify the issue by reserving my seats for me.

Then flight delayed for one hour caused me almost missed my connecting flight.

Coming back, flight delayed from 10pm until 1am.

Never again.
