Batik Air DPS-PER
There are media reports of Batik Air commencing DPS-PER flights, and their website even lists flight numbers and timings, but the service has not commenced yet and it is not bookable.
Anyone have any inside info as to when the service may start?

It was announced last year. Just googling it, it shows a flight today, but don't think it's real.
The Batik air site says they're waiting for delivery of 4 new A320 aircraft this month to start the route. The website's English is a bit weird, like they used Google Translate.
I've never flown Batik Air, but have flown Malindo recently, which uses a lot of Batik Air service items. Never had a problem with Malindo. Lion Air is often late running, especially from mid-day on.

Hello chaps,
it seems there hasn't been an update on this one.
Batik Air just started flights to Perth a few weeks ago... June 20-something, in addition they also fly to kuala lumpur now, so in theory you could fly from perth to several cities in SEA now... in theory
not that i actively recommend flying them though hmm
