Indonesia’s new low-cost carrier launches maiden Jakarta-KL flights

Indonesian airline PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri (TransNusa) has introduced itself as a premium service carrier on international routes. PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri CEO Datuk Bernard Francis said that for its international routes, the services offered by TransNusa would exceed that of a low-cost airline.m“Based on our intensive market research, we know that travellers’ behavioural patterns have changed, specifically due to the Covid-19 pandemic and as a result of this, we have curated different packages to meet the needs of different passengers. For our international flights, we not only provide premium services with competitive ticket prices, we also have new product bundles called ‘SEAT’, ‘SEAT Plus’ and ‘Flexi-Pro’. Our passengers will enjoy check-in baggage of between 15kg and 30kg, depending on the package purchased,” he said. He highlighted that the baggage offering was over and above the seven kilogramme limit offered for passengers’ hand-carried bag. Francis said TransNusa had configured its A320 aircraft with a 168-174 seat configuration, which would allow passengers to enjoy legroom of between 76cm and 79cm that was comparable to the experience one would get in a full-service airline.<br/>
