Lion Group, encompassing Batik Air Indonesia, Batik Air Malaysia, and Thai Lion Air, is set to bolster its presence at Singapore’s Changi Airport by relocating to Terminal 4 from November 2025. This strategic move will support the airline’s expansion plans, including new flights to Ipoh, Penang, and Subang, starting December 2025. Currently, Lion Group operates 88 weekly services connecting Singapore to five cities across Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.
The relocation to Terminal 4, which can handle up to 16 million passenger movements annually, aims to accommodate Lion Group’s growth and rising air travel demand in the region. The terminal offers a high degree of automation and a variety of retail and dining options, enhancing the passenger experience. Changi Airport Group (CAG) is collaborating with Lion Group to integrate its airlines into FAST, a suite of automated self-service options.
Changi Airport Group’s Executive Vice President, Lim Ching Kiat, expressed enthusiasm for the new services, stating, “With this, services from Singapore to Malaysia will reach over 460 weekly departing flights, entrenching Malaysia’s position as one of Changi’s top markets.”
Lion Group’s President Director, Capt. Daniel Putut, highlighted the benefits of the move, saying, “This move enables Batik Air to better connect Indonesia and Singapore, two important gateways in the region.”
The expansion aligns with Lion Group’s long-term vision to grow alongside customer needs, offering more routes and strengthening regional connectivity. The new routes will also support the lead-up to Visit Malaysia Year 2026, providing seamless onward connections via Kuala Lumpur to over 63 destinations across 20 countries.
