Real human help
How to talk to a live person at Batik Air?
To reach a live person at Batik Air, you can use most of their communication channels – call center, local offices, live chat, social media, emails, or airport service desk. Each route ensures interaction with human operators, either immediately or after an initial automated response.
- When you dial Batik Air call center number, you’ll be connected to a human operator. Initially, you might interact with an automated Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system – designed to guide you to the most suitable department (and to put you on hold if the lines are busy). However, once the line is free, you will be connected to a real person.
- Reach out to your local Batik Air office – it is probably the best way to talk to a real person. As they handle fewer calls, you’ll experience much shorter waiting times.
- Message Batik Air on their social media platforms (use Twitter DM or Facebook Messenger). Although initial interaction may also be with a bot, a human operator will usually step in for complex issues.
- Emails are typically handled by human operators. Despite an initial automated response, a real person will provide a follow-up reply shortly.
- If you’re at the airport, check if the airline has a service desk on-site. Pay a visit to speak to a representative in person.
Batik Air international contacts
International customer service can handle your booking just like the main call center. Instead of competing for time with the call centers in Indonesia, jump the line by dialing those in other countries — Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Singapore, — for example. Travelers report that the Batik Air support in those countries has much shorter wait times, sometimes just a few minutes.
As a last resort, head for the foreign language-speaking call center. It will help if you are comfortable with that language, but there’s a chance that the hotline staff also speaks English.

Batik Air WhatsApp number
To contact Batik Air via WhatsApp, use +62 811-1938-0888 number. Once you’ve added the number to your contacts, you can start a conversation by sending a message.
You can use Batik Air WhatsApp number to get help with your reservation, get information about your flight, or ask other questions regarding your trip. It is a secure way to contact airline’s customer support, as all messages are encrypted.
Alternatively, to avoid high rates for international calls, you can use Wi-Fi calling or VoIP services.
Wi-Fi calling lets you place phone calls via a Wi-Fi network rather than a cellular network, much like WhatsApp, helping you avoid any roaming charges. Most carriers and smartphones support Wi-Fi calling, but you’ll need to enable it in your phone’s settings. Please note that Wi-Fi calling is restricted in countries like China, Egypt, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and UAE.
VoIP apps like Skype, Viber, Google Voice or Talkatone are another way to call Batik Air international numbers cheaply. In a manner similar to WhatsApp, they tap into the internet to place calls. While not free, these services offer competitively low rates for calls to both landlines and mobile phones. Costs generally range between $0.01 and $0.20 per minute, subject to the country and service provider being called.
In 2017, the EU has abolished roaming charges within its territory. If you’re within the EU and you place a call to a Batik Air number located in the EU, it will be priced as domestic call — with a capped cost of 19 cents (plus VAT) per minute.
Batik Air phone numbers by city
Your regional Batik Air helpline often has more specific knowledge about local airports, regulations, and services. They may be able to provide more detailed and relevant information.
Most agents have good English proficiency. The regional lines will likely have representatives who are also fluent in the local language; if you feel more comfortable communicating in your first language, look for the phone number for your nearest location.
Calling a regional center means you’re likely calling within your time zone — this can make it easier to reach someone during business hours.

When to call
Best times to call Batik Air
To decrease on-hold times, try to call Batik Air at off-peak times during the middle of the week (Tuesday to Thursday). The earlier in the day you call, the less you’ll have to wait.
Experienced customers suggest the best time to call Batik Air is early morning, from 4 am to 7 am (as per the call center’s local time), for 24/7 hotlines or just as the call center commences operations. Remember to adjust for any time differences.
The evening hours and weekends typically encounter the highest traffic and should be avoided.
Third-party apps like DoNotPay can save you time by placing a call and enduring hold times on your behalf. By using tricks, the app tries to get a human on the line quickly (it has built a database of priority customer service numbers). Then it calls you back and connects you to the agent. DoNotPay is a paid service and currently supports US numbers only (expansion to other countries is underway).

Batik Air live chat
Batik Air does not provide customer support via live chat. Alternatively, you can chat with their live agent (human support representative) using instant messaging on Facebook Messenger or Twitter.
Live chat is a tool that connects customers with an actual human representative — live agent — via instant messaging in a browser window. It is often the fastest way to get help from the airline, substantially minimizing wait times (compared to call centers).
Integrating a bot with live chat gives customers an additional tool in beginning the support conversation. Chatbots — especially those powered by A.I. — can read customer inquiries and automatically respond with the relevant information. Live chat bots reduce the waiting time to virtually nil.
The adoption of live chat and chatbots varies among airlines, as it requires not just the technical infrastructure, but also staff training. This could potentially explain why Batik Air has not yet introduced live chat for its passengers.
For security reasons, live chat agents cannot proces sensitive payment information. To make purchases (like ticket changes or additional baggage), you’ll be redirected to a secure payment portal or advised to call Batik Air directly.
Feedback: How to file a formal complaint?
To formally lodge a complaint with Batik Air, begin by using the carrier’s designated feedback channels. Retain all pertinent documents — boarding passes, receipts, tickets, and email correspondences — as they may be needed to support your case.
Batik Air does not provide an email address that could be used to send a feedback or compalints. To file a formal complaint. Remember to include the necessary details, clearly stating the nature of your complaint. Batik Air will reply to your complaint within a few working days.
For direct, pesonal assistance, passengers wishing to share their feedback or discuss encountered issues can speak to a representative by dialing +603 78415 388.
If all else fails, email the CEO. Write a polite complaint email briefly explaining your situation and kindly requesting their assistance. While the CEO may not personally respond, their team usually takes prompt action. Often, the outcome can be even better than what you had hoped for. Use services like Hunter.io or Spokeo to find the email address of the Batik Air CEO.
Aviation Consumer Protection
Escalate your issue to the ombudsman
If you are unsatisfied with how Batik Air settles your complaint, you can contact your country’s Airline Customer Advocate (ACA) body.

However, ensure you’re eligible for lounge access beforehand, as it’s generally reserved for top-tier frequent flyer members.
Contacting Batik Air on social media
Getting phone help from Batik Air often means long waits. So here’s our advice: before calling the helpline, try to get a quick fix by contacting them via social media — Facebook, Twitter. Many travelers are reporting that they get a faster response there. Most large airlines have teams of social media specialists; in our experience, it’s the easiest way to resolve an issue.
Craft a concise and polite message explaining your issue or inquiry. Include relevant details like your booking reference or flight information. If you don’t hear back within a reasonable timeframe, send a follow-up message.
Use this trick to contact the airline faster: mention @malindoair in a tweet about your issue. Batik Air team will often notice it immediately and provide an answer. It’s a method we recommend if your issue is particularly urgent.

Chatbot
Harnessing the power of AI, airline chatbots provide 24/7 service – reducing the need for call centers waits. While they can’t solve all problems, their capabilities continually improve with technology advancements.

FAQ
What is the hotline response time?
The average wait time for Batik Air representatives is between 5 and 50 minutes — depending on when you're calling. However, when the airline gets hit with an unprecedented wave of calls amid mass cancellations, you should be prepared for much longer waiting times.
Like most airlines, Batik Air employs a certain number of staff in its call centers — sufficient to serve customers under standard conditions. If these conditions change (sudden flight delays and cancellations, peak travel times such as school holidays, etc.), the airline usually allocates more resources to customer service to address the increased demand.
Where can I find Batik Air service desk at the airport?
Batik Air houses its main service desk at Soekarno–Hatta International Airport CGK
in Jakarta, Indonesia. The airport serves as the primary hub airport for the carrier, coordinating the lion's share of its flight operations. The Batik Air representatives at this airport desk provide comprehensive customer service for passengers: booking changes, refunds, upgrading flights, special assistance requests, etc.
You’ll also find Batik Air service desks at other major airports in its network: Adelaide Airport ADL
, Perth International Airport PER
, Phuket International Airport HKT
, Singapore Changi Airport SIN
.
Not all airports serviced by Batik Air maintain its help desks. Their presence depends on the airline's scale of operations, airport size, and arrangements with other airlines. Smaller airports with sparse Batik Air flights or those primarily catering to regional traffic may lack a dedicated service desk.
If you’re flying with the Indonesian carrier and aren’t sure whether there will be a service desk at the departure airport, check the airline’s and the airport's websites. Alternatively, contact customer service for the most up-to-date information.
Missed Batik Air flight contact number
If you think you're going to miss a flight, call Batik Air immediately at +603 78415 388. The sooner your airline knows that you'll be late, the more options it has to fix it. Batik Air often charges you for a new ticket if you miss a flight, but there are important exceptions. To find out if you qualify, you need to act fast. Calling the airline ASAP can significantly increase your chances of getting rebooked on the next flight at no additional charge.
How to request a callback from Batik Air?
Batik Air does not provide a callback option. However, you can still potentially get an airline representative to call you back:
- Try to initiate contact by reaching out to Batik Air through the channels they offer — email, live chat, social media, or the hotline.
- Clearly state that you would prefer to be contacted by a phone call (callback)
- Briefly explain your issue or question; include your phone number and the best times to reach you.
- Follow up: if you don’t get a response within a reasonable timeframe, try reaching out again.
What is Batik Air Business Class contact number?
Several airlines offer premium, dedicated phone lines exclusively for their Business Class passengers — recognizing the investment they make when they opt for a higher level of comfort.
However, Batik Air does not offer a dedicated phone number for Business Class customers. Instead, they can contact the airline’s general customer service line. Although this might involve some waiting, the airline prioritizes assisting their high-tier customers as quickly as possible.
Should I contact my travel agent instead of CS?
Yes, if you find airline customer care burdensome, you may ask your travel agent for help. An agent can remove all that drama from your booking experience. Good travel agents have dedicated "air teams" behind them (who have relationships with airlines) and often work via a bigger agency leveraging its robust networks and connections.
When Batik Air cancels a flight or makes a change to your itinerary, travel agents have the power to handle this for you on your behalf. They don’t even need to speak to the airline in most cases since they have access to the backend of a booking system and are permitted to make changes to your reservation. Sometimes, they can even “bend” the rules.
The best thing: you’ll typically pay the same price for the flight ticket. Commissions made by agents generally come from the airline side, not the customer side.
