AirAsia launches Jakarta-Tokyo direct flight
Low-cost carrier AirAsia X Indonesia opened a direct flight from Jakarta to Tokyo's Narita airport Thursday. Set to depart from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport's Terminal 3 starting May 1, the service will be available daily on an Airbus A330-300 that can accommodate 377 passengers, including 12 premium flatbed seats. The move follows the airline's success with its direct flight from Bali to Tokyo launched last year. "We open this route to welcome more Japanese tourists to explore Indonesia's beauty. The number of Indonesian tourists to Japan has also increased by up to 30% from last year, hence hopefully they could use this opportunity to fulfill their vacation dream to Japan more affordably," said AirAsia X Indonesia CEO captain Sulistyo Nugroho Hanung Thursday.<br/>
