TransNusa launches twice‑daily Jakarta‑Bangkok flights, signs MoU with Thailand tourism authority

On 6 August 2026, PT Transnusa Aviation Mandiri began operating a new direct Jakarta–Bangkok service, offering two flights per day from Soekarno‑Hatta to Suvarnabhumi. The schedule provides 14 departures weekly, each using an Airbus A320 with 174 seats, adding roughly 130 000 seats per year to the corridor.

The launch coincided with a Memorandum of Understanding signed on 4 August 2026 between Transnusa and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). The agreement, signed by Transnusa Group CEO Datuk Bernard Francis and TAT Governor Thapanee Kiatphaibool at the Indonesia–Thailand Business Forum in Jakarta, aims to boost tourism, joint marketing, and further direct routes, including a planned Bali–Phuket service. The partnership was also highlighted by Thai Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and involves digital‑travel platform Traveloka to promote Thai destinations to Indonesian travelers.
