TransNusa has been picked as one of two foreign airlines that received approval to start flights from the Sultan Abdul Aziz Airport, popularly known as Subang Airport in Malaysia.
“I am thankful for the opportunity to be the first foreign airline to start scheduled jet aircraft operations for an international route from Subang airport. As of today, we will be the only airline offering scheduled international flights from Terminal 3, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Subang Airport,” said Datuk Bernard, who is the Group Chief Executive Officer of TransNusa.
At the initial stage, TransNusa will be operating one daily scheduled flight from Terminal 3, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Subang Airport. The flight, 8B 699, will depart Jakarta at 04.10 pm and arrive at the Subang Airport at 07.00 pm while TransNusa flight, 8B 698, will depart Subang Airport at 07.30 pm and arrive in Jakarta at 08.30 pm. TransNusa will be utilizing its A320 narrow-body airliner, which has 174 seats, to cater for the two-hour scheduled flight, beginning August 1.
On the successful approval of TransNusa’s route permit, Datuk Bernard said, “TransNusa, known worldwide for its unique business proposition as a Premium Service Carrier, has always operated with passengers’ comfort and safety in mind. As such, this new opportunity is a testament to our commitment towards enhancing services in the aviation industry. As an Indonesian airline that has only been operating for 20 months, we are proud to launch a series of new daily scheduled flights to the Subang Airport and play a part in making history with the Subang Airport team in Malaysia.”
On whether there will be any changes to TransNusa’s scheduled flights from Jakarta to Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA), Datuk said that TransNusa would still continue to operate three scheduled daily flights to KLIA and 4 scheduled flights weekly to Johor Bharu.
