SYDNEY, April 17 (Xinhua) — Australia’s flag provider Qantas has introduced the launch of flights from Melbourne to Jakarta, with year-round flights working three days per week on Airbus A330 Aircraft.
Adding to current routes from Sydney to Jakarta, the brand new service gives passengers a selection of 10 flights per week and virtually 300,000 seats between Jakarta and Australia yearly.
“We continue to see really strong demand to and from Melbourne, so we’re pleased to be expanding our international network with another new route out of Victoria,” Qantas Domestic and International CEO Andrew David mentioned on Sunday.
“Jakarta is becoming an increasingly important destination for our corporate travelers. These direct flights offer more choice and make it even easier for them to do business with one of Australia’s closest neighbors.”
The new service is the fourth worldwide path to be added from Melbourne by the Australian provider since borders reopened, following the launch of flights to Delhi and Dallas Fort Worth and the resumption of flights from Melbourne to Tokyo final month.
The new route from Melbourne to Jakarta is anticipated to draw passengers touring to and from different main Indonesian cities akin to Surabaya and Medan.
“The route is also a great opportunity for more Indonesians to explore the best of Victoria or visit family and friends, with the flights launching in time for the Lebaran holiday period,” mentioned David.
