Flying overseas from Jakarta anytime soon? Lately, some airlines are adjusting their services or introducing new routes from the capital of Indonesia and here's some of the bits to keep you updated!

(Some of the flight schedules are obtained from the timetable posted at airlineroute.net).

Garuda Indonesia

In a surprising move, Garuda reinstated its Jakarta to Mumbai flights with a routing via Bangkok. The flight operates three times weekly using a B737-800 aircraft. The flight is expected to have full fifth-freedom rights between Bangkok and Mumbai, as tickets between the two cities are bookable via Garuda’s website.

Singapore Airlines

Citing the runway maintenance project in Soekarno-Hatta Airport, Singapore Airlines had cancelled its Jakarta-Sydney flight which was supposed to be launched in November 23. The airline is also reducing the frequency for its Airbus A350-operated SQ962/963 flight from daily to only two-weekly.

Oman Air

The flag carrier of Sultanate of Oman, who were operating a five-weekly B787 service between Muscat and Jakarta, via Singapore is expected to move into a daily nonstop operation with an A332 equipment. This enables Jakarta-based passengers flying to Europe/Middle East with the airline to reach their destination with just a single stopover.

Ethiopian

After announcing its interest on flying to Jakarta a few years ago, Ethiopian Airways is expecting to commence a flight from Addis Ababa to Jakarta, via Bangkok using a B787 equipment from June 2017 onwards. It will be interesting to see if the Bangkok to Jakarta sector is granted fifth-freedom rights.
