JAKARTA, October 7, 2026: TransNusa has increased its Jakarta-Singapore service to four daily flights, with the new frequency commencing today, as the airline responds to rising business and leisure travel demand on the route.
The latest addition follows TransNusa’s recent expansion from two to three daily flights, marking a rapid scale-up within less than six months. The fourth flight departs Jakarta at 17:40 and arrives in Singapore at 20:20, returning from Singapore at 21:20 and reaching Jakarta at 21:55.
Leadership and industry recognition
TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer Datuk Bernard Francis said the move reflects growing trust in the airline and its operational reliability. He noted that securing multiple frequency approvals from Singapore’s Changi Airport, known for its strict operational standards, underscores TransNusa’s alignment with high aviation benchmarks.
In April 2026, TransNusa introduced its third daily frequency on the Jakarta-Singapore route. The airline was also recognised at the Changi Airline Awards 2026, becoming the first Indonesian carrier to win the “Top Airlines by Absolute Passenger Growth (Southeast Asia)” award from Changi Airport Group, just 17 months after starting operations at the airport.
Expanded schedule and fleet details
TransNusa operates the Jakarta-Singapore route with its Airbus A320 fleet, offering morning, afternoon, and evening departures from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4. The airline provides baggage allowances, seat selection, and a 30-to-31-inch seat pitch for additional legroom.
TransNusa’s broader international network includes destinations such as Perth, Guangzhou, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Bangkok. The airline is set to launch its Melbourne-Bali connection on October 19, 2026, featuring its new “Premium Plus” cabin product with enhanced services and baggage limits.
Company background and expansion
TransNusa rebranded as a Premium Service Carrier in February 2024, positioning itself between low-cost and full-service models. The airline received its AOC certification on September 9, 2022, and began Airbus A320 operations in October and December 2022. Its fleet also includes COMAC C909 aircraft.
TransNusa is the first airline to launch a Premium Service Carrier business model in the Asia Pacific region and the second Indonesian airline to fly to China. The carrier remains focused on network efficiency, safety, and supporting regional tourism and economic growth.
