TransNusa has officially expanded its Jakarta-Singapore service to four daily flights. This increase follows a steady rise in travel demand between the two regional hubs.
Why it matters
The expanded schedule aims to accommodate the growing number of business and leisure travelers moving between Indonesia and Singapore. Increased frequency offers passengers more flexible timing options throughout the day.
The new fourth flight departs Jakarta at 17:40, arriving in Singapore at 20:20, with the return service departing at 21:20. This route is operated exclusively using the airline's Airbus A320 fleet.
The players
TransNusa
This airline operates as a Premium Service Carrier based in Indonesia and services several international routes.
Changi Airport Group

The details
TransNusa utilizes Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4 for its operations, securing multiple frequency approvals to facilitate the expansion. The airline has been recognized by the Changi Airport Group for achieving significant passenger growth over the past year.
