The transition to a four-times-daily scheduled flight follows the recent expansion from two to three flights daily, reflecting steady passenger demand and the airlines' operational capacity to support increased traffic on the route. With this enhanced frequency, TransNusa now offers seamless travel times tailored perfectly to the schedules of both business and leisure travelers.
The fourth flight takes off from Jakarta today at 17.40 and arrives Singapore at 20:20. It departs Singapore at 21:20 and arrives Jakarta at 21:55.
Leadership Driven Growth and Changi Recognition
"Scaling our presence to four daily flights on the Jakarta-Singapore corridor reflects the growing trust in the TransNusa brand," said Datuk Bernard Francis, TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer.
"In addition, securing successive frequency approvals from a world-class gateway like Changi Airport demonstrates our operational reliability and alignment with high aviation standards," He added.
"Having introduced our third daily frequency in April 2026 and moving quickly to launch a fourth daily scheduled flight, emphasizes our commercial agility," highlighted Datuk Bernard, adding that the high-frequency schedule allows TransNusa to directly serve both corporate and leisure guests with premium flexibility at accessible price points."
Securing multiple frequency increases within a short timeframe of less than 6 months from a world-class hub like Singapore Changi Airport, which maintains strict operational benchmarks and partners with top-tier airlines, demonstrates the carrier's growth trajectory and scalable capabilities.
The frequency increase not only builds directly upon the airline's transition from two to three flights daily but also upon the airline's recognition at the Changi Airline Awards 2026, where Datuk Bernard led TransNusa to became the first Indonesian carrier to win the "Top Airlines by Absolute Passenger Growth (Southeast Asia)" award from the World-Renown Changi Airport Group, just 17 months after starting operations at the airport.
Comprehensive Daily Flight Schedule
Operating the route with its modern Airbus A320 fleet, TransNusa's schedule provides morning, afternoon, and evening options. Flights depart from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport and land at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4.
Bookings for the new daily flight times are now available. Passengers can view schedules, select seats, and book fares directly through the official TransNusa website at transnusa.co.id.
