Citilink, the low-cost subsidiary of Garuda Indonesia, has launched its inaugural Jakarta service to Perth, providing more travel options for passengers. The new service adds to Citilink’s daily Perth-Denpasar route, increasing the total number of available seats in the market by nearly 190,000.
Perth Airport’s Acting CEO, Kate Holsgrove, welcomed the expansion, noting that Indonesia is a popular tourism destination and a significant trading partner for Western Australians.
Citilink’s CEO, Dewa Rai, expressed optimism about the new international routes, expecting improved bilateral relations and increased cooperation between Indonesia and Australia.
The Jakarta-Perth flights operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, while the Perth-Jakarta flights operate on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
