Indonesian airline adds flights before four-daily Jakarta-Singapore services begin on 25 October.
Indonesian airline TransNusa increased its scheduled services between Jakarta, Indonesia, and Singapore from 21 to 24 weekly flights on 7 October 2026, responding to passenger demand and providing additional travel options for business and leisure travellers. The airline planned to increase the frequency to 28 weekly flights from 25 October, equivalent to four daily services on the route.
The additional evening service, flight 8B141, was scheduled to depart Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta at 17:40 and arrive at Singapore Changi Airport at 20:20. Its return service, flight 8B142, was scheduled to leave Singapore at 21:20 and arrive in Jakarta at 21:55. TransNusa operates the route using its Airbus A320 fleet, with flights serving Changi Airport Terminal 4.
“Scaling our presence to four daily flights on the Jakarta-Singapore corridor reflects the growing trust in the TransNusa brand,” said Datuk Bernard Francis, Group Chief Executive Officer of TransNusa. Datuk Francis added that securing successive frequency approvals from Singapore Changi Airport demonstrated the airline’s operational reliability and alignment with aviation standards.
The increase followed TransNusa’s expansion from two to three daily flights on the Jakarta-Singapore route in April 2026. The airline also received the “Top Airlines by Absolute Passenger Growth – Southeast Asia” award at the Changi Airline Awards 2026, organised by Singapore-based Changi Airport Group. TransNusa announced the award on 29 April 2026.
TransNusa operates domestic and international services using aircraft including the Airbus A320, Airbus A321 and COMAC C909. In 2023, the Indonesian airline introduced its Premium Service Carrier business model, positioning its services between low-cost and full-service airline models. The planned schedule expansion will provide additional air connections between Indonesia’s capital and Singapore, supporting travel for business and leisure.
