TransNusa flight makes it Subang’s first foreign airline

The first TransNusa flight into Subang on 1st August makes it the first foreign airline to fly scheduled jet services to the airport since these were stopped nearly 20 years ago. TranNusa is the only airline to offer the Jakarta-Subang route to Malaysia offering travellers a shorter travel duration when planning a leisure or business stay in both directions.

…. We are honoured and thrilled to successfully launch our new scheduled Jakarta – Subang route. “This route will allow passengers from Subang Airport to reach Kuala Lumpur in a mere 19 to 20 minutes by car with only 23km between the two locations.TransNusa Group CEO, Bernard Francis

He added that passengers need to travel 59km from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) to Kuala Lumpur, so the new service offers a significant time saving.

Francis said TransNusa will be operating one daily scheduled flight from Terminal 3, Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Subang Airport, although the current schedule is only four days a week. TransNusa ticket for this route is competitively priced from IDR 999,000.

The Malaysian Aviation Commission had approved only six airlines to fly from Subang Airport, four Malaysian-owned airlines and two foreign airlines, including TransNusa.

Francis clarified that although TransNusa has launched this new route, the airline would still continue to operate three scheduled daily flights from Jakarta to KLIA and four scheduled flights weekly from Jakarta to Johor Bahru.

Francis explained that since TransNusa’s re-introduction in August 2022, the airline has been planning, creating and developing new ways to enhance passenger travel experience, provide alternative travel slots as well as competitive pricing.

…. Since the re-launch of TransNusa in 2022, the airline has grown and made a valuable contribution to the tourism industry in Malaysia by offering Indonesian passengers additional and competitive flights to Kuala Lumpur. Manoharan Periasamy, Director General of Tourism Malaysia
