The evident downside is that both flights are scheduled waaay too early in the day, but that also means these flights are cheaper than those schedule during regular hours.
Batik Air and Greater Bay Airlines are the newest additions to NAIA's list of air carriers:
The news of Batik Air's upcoming Kuala Lumpur daily flights was announced alongside the news of start-up budget carrier Greater Bay Airlines arrival, too, which will operate flights between Manila and Hong Kong five days a week. The entrance of these two airlines brings NAIA's total number of hosted air carriers to 48, 42 of which are international carriers serving 57 international destinations.
"We are pleased to welcome Greater Bay Airlines and Batik Air to NAIA’s growing roster of air carriers. This expansion reflects our commitment to providing passengers with an even broader range of travel options,” MIAA Officer-in-Charge Bryan Co said.
