Qantas and Jetstar Expand Indonesia Flights with New Brisbane‑Bali and Perth‑Jakarta Routes
WHY IT MATTERS
The added seats and new direct routes will ease travel between Australia and Indonesia, boosting tourism and business ties while offering passengers faster, more convenient connections.
What happened
Qantas and its low‑cost arm Jetstar are set to broaden their Indonesia network after a recent amendment to the Australia‑Indonesia bilateral air services agreement. The update allows an additional 5,000 seats per week, paving the way for Qantas to launch nonstop flights from Brisbane Airport to Bali’s Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) and from Perth International Airport to Jakarta’s Soekarno‑Hatta International Airport (CGK).
While the announcement refers to three new routes, the article details only these two Qantas services, suggesting Jetstar will also benefit from the expanded capacity.
The move reflects growing demand for direct travel between Australia and Indonesia and offers travelers more convenient, point‑to‑point options without layovers.
