TransNusa has announced a new direct scheduled flight connective Jakarta and Lombok, further strengthening access to one of Indonesia’s key tourism and regional travel hubs.
TransNusa Airlines Group chief executive officer Datuk Bernard Francis said that the introduction of this new route comes on the back of the airline’s focus to increase and strengthen connectivity while boosting domestic tourism.
“Lombok is not only rapidly growing as a domestic and international tourist destination but the island is also the main gateway for tourism in the West Nusa Tenggara region through its Lombok International Airport,” Datuk Francis said.
Lombok
Lombok is home to the diving haven Gili and Mount Rinjani National Park, one of Indonesia’s most iconic volcanic landscapes. The island offers dramatic trekking routes, cascading waterfalls and panoramic mountain views, attracting adventurers and nature lovers from around the world. Beyond its mountains, Lombok has also built a global reputation as a world-class surfing and diving destination, with pristine beaches, coral reef and consistent waves drawing surfers year-round.
“TransNusa will initially operate 14 flights a week or two daily flights with the first scheduled flight departing Jakarta in the morning and the second in the afternoon,” Datuk Francis said. He also added that the sales of tickets for the new scheduled flight from Jakarta to Lombok started on 16 March 2026, with the inaugural flight scheduled for April 17, 2026.
In addition to this new launch, TransNusa has also increased the frequency of its Jakarta-Yogyakarta route with the aim to enhance and strengthen domestic connectivity, said Datuk Bernard.

TransNusa’s scheduled flight 8B 5161 departs Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 5am and arrives at Lombok International Airport at 8am. The returning service, 8B 5162, departs Lombok International Airport at 8:30am and arrives in Jakarta at the Soekarno-Hatta International Airport at 9:30am.

For its flights, TransNusa not only provides premium services with competitive ticket prices, but the airline also has attractive product bundles called Seat, Seat-Plus and Flexi-Pro.
“Our Seat passengers will enjoy check-in baggage of up to 20kgs,” Datuk Francis said. He explained that the baggage offering was over and above the 7kgs limit offered as a passenger’s hand carry.
For the highest package, Flexi-Pro, we provide services such as free baggage up to 30kgs, free to choose seats, free food, and drinks, priority at check-in and boarding counters.
“TransNusa also provides its Flexi-Pro passengers with the flexibility to change their flight schedule without restrictions and obtain refund when needed,” Datuk Francis said.
TransNusa, which aims to ensure its passengers travel with ease and comfort, has also configured their A320s with a 174-seat configuration, which allows for passengers to enjoy about 30 inches of legroom, comparable to the experience passengers would get in a full-service airline.
“We are committed to providing affordable and competitive ticket prices, while still providing premium services to our customers,” Datuk Francis concluded.
