You can now fly AirAsia to Jakarta as the airline has just announced their 20th Indonesian route, connecting the Kelantan Capital Kota Bharu, to the Indonesian Capital. With flights starting 16th June 2026, the airline will operate four weekly flights between Kota Bharu and Jakarta, strengthening connectivity between the northern coast of Malaysia and the capital of Indonesia. AirAsia is the first airline to offer this international route between Kota Bharu & Indonesia, which is expected to further boost international arrivals and support Kelantan’s growing tourism and medical travel ambitions.
This latest route expansion supports the state’s goal of attracting 12 million domestic and international tourists this year, building on last year’s strong performance of approximately 11 million visitor arrivals, almost 90% of whom were domestic tourists. With the Visit Malaysia Year 2026 (VM2026) campaign currently in full swing, the addition of this new flight aligns with the national target of welcoming 4.6 million Indonesian visitors in 2026. The service will also contribute towards the Indonesian government target of 16 to 17.6 million foreign tourist arrivals this year.

Kota Bharu and Jakarta are connected through their shared Malay-Muslim cultural heritage, rich traditions and strategic geographic locations. While Kota Bharu charms with its artisanal crafts, culinary treasures, and relaxed coastal vibe, Jakarta stands as Indonesia’s bustling capital and economic hub. This offers many opportunities for cultural exchange, tourism collaboration, trade, linking the two cities through direct flights and growing economic partnerships, offering stronger regional connectivity between Malaysia and Indonesia.
…. We are thrilled to introduce this new connectivity and the timing is ideal to further stimulate our northern coastal destination with more international travellers. As Kelantan expands into the medical tourism space, especially targeting Indonesia and neighbouring countries, stronger air links are essential. Backed by private specialist hospitals delivering quality care at competitive prices, the state is poised to attract greater cross-border medical travel.Captain Fareh Mazputra, AirAsia Malaysia GM
