Berjaya Air debuts all-business-class flights from Subang to Koh Samui and Medan, starting April 22.
PETALING JAYA: Berjaya Air, the aviation arm of Berjaya Property, has taken off internationally, launching business-class-only flights from Subang to Thailand’s Koh Samui and Indonesia’s Medan, marking a significant expansion in Southeast Asia’s lifestyle travel sector.
Berjaya Property Berhad Group chief executive officer Syed Ali Shahul Hameed said the move reflects the Group’s vision to enhance regional connectivity while elevating the travel experience for discerning leisure and business travellers.
“By linking Subang to premier destinations such as Koh Samui, Medan and Redang, we are making it easier for travellers to access some of Southeast Asia’s most compelling island and cultural retreats,” he said.
The new routes, scheduled to commence on April 22, offer direct, three-times-a-week flights to Koh Samui and Medan, removing the need for transit stops or airport transfers.
Designed for resort-bound travellers, the service promises a calmer, more considered start to journeys, blending speed with comfort and exclusivity.
“This approach reflects our belief that regional travel is increasingly about meaningful, high-quality connections between destinations.
“Berjaya Air responds to this shift by offering a premium, business-class-only experience for those who value comfort, exclusivity, and the ability to reach exceptional destinations with ease,” Syed Ali Shahul Hameed added.
The Koh Samui route makes Berjaya Air the only direct gateway from Subang to the sought-after Thai island, famed for its pristine beaches, private villas, and understated luxury.
Meanwhile, the Medan connection opens the door to Indonesia’s vibrant cultural capital, offering easy onward travel to Lake Toba and other nature-led getaways, while streamlining business trips across the region.
Berjaya Air general manager Mohd Amri Mohd Akib highlighted the growing demand for seamless regional journeys.
“Travellers today are more deliberate about how they spend their time. They prefer fewer transit points, less congestion, and journeys that feel smooth from the outset.
“Our direct flights reduce travel time to Koh Samui from roughly four hours with ferries or buses to just two hours in the air, ensuring a swift and hassle-free experience.”
Flights will operate on a world-first 26-seat, all-business-class ATR 72-600, designed to offer a spacious, boutique-style cabin.
Fewer passengers mean boarding is swift, the cabin remains composed, and travel feels relaxed.
Passengers enjoy dedicated check-in counters, personalised boarding, lounge access, and in-flight dining inspired by Berjaya Hotels’ culinary standards, including signature dishes such as Pak Mus Beef Rendang, Ocean Salmon with lemon herb sauce, and Russel Oxtail Assam Pedas, complemented by Malaysian heritage kuih and gourmet bites.
Beyond Koh Samui and Medan, Berjaya Air continues its Subang–Redang–Seletar route, providing seamless access to Redang’s crystal-clear waters and the Taaras Beach & Spa Resort.
Flight packages, reflecting the airline’s boutique positioning, start from RM3,996 to Koh Samui, RM1,847 to Medan, RM3,569 to Redang, and RM4,902 for Seletar–Redang.
Each package includes 30kg check-in baggage, 7kg cabin allowance, and a RM200 Berjaya Hotels & Resorts voucher.
