TransNusa, South East Asia’s first premium service airline, has announced an increase in its scheduled flights between Jakarta and Singapore to twice daily.
This move, effective from today, is part of the airline’s strategy to strengthen its network connectivity. The additional flight, 8B 153, departs Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 12:10 pm and arrives at Singapore Changi Airport at 2:40 pm, whilst the return flight, 8B 154, leaves Changi at 3:30 pm and lands in Jakarta at 4:20 pm.
The airline continues to operate its existing flight, 8B 151, which departs Jakarta at 7:55 am, arriving in Singapore at 10:45 am, with the return flight, 8B 152, leaving Singapore at 11:45 am and arriving in Jakarta at 12:30 pm.
TransNusa’s CEO, Bernard Francis, highlighted the airline’s commitment to providing premium services at competitive prices, with ticket prices for the Jakarta-Singapore route starting at SGD52 (USD40).
TransNusa’s rapid expansion follows its relaunch in October 2022, after a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The airline has since introduced several international routes, including Jakarta-Kuala Lumpur and Bali-Perth. Bernard attributes the airline’s success to its customised business model and experienced management team. TransNusa offers various product bundles, such as SEAT, SEATPLUS, and FLEXIPRO, which include benefits like increased baggage allowance and flexible ticket options.
With its A320 aircraft configured for comfort, TransNusa aims to ensure passengers travel with ease, offering approximately 30 inches of legroom. The airline’s strategic growth is set to continue, with plans to further enhance its international presence.
