TransNusa ends 2025 by introducing four new scheduled direct domestic flights to renowned international tourist destinations. Ticket sales for the four new routes began last week, while flights for the four new domestic routes begin on December 15.
TransNusa will launch new scheduled direct flights from Bali to Lombok, known as a world-class surfing island destination and Bali to Bima, which is known for its natural beauty and gateway to Pantai Pink with its rare pink sands and clear waters.
In addition, TransNusa will also be launching new scheduled direct flights from the international diving island destination of Sorong to Timika and from Manado to Sorong.
TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer, Datuk Bernard Francis, said that with the new launches, TransNusa hopes to provide increased connectivity and travelling options to domestic and international tourists.
“We would like to play our part in boosting and increasing air connectivity within Indonesia’s internationally renowned tourism island destinations. Our focus is on increasing direct flights to destinations that are world-renowned for their unique and stunning landscape and natural offerings,” said Datuk Bernard, adding that Lombok, home to Mount Rinjani National Park, offers one of Indonesia’s most iconic volcanic landscapes with sweeping treks, waterfalls and panoramic views.
Bima’s Pantai Pink is a rare natural wonder with pink-hued sands and crystal-clear waters, a hidden gem for beach lovers and photographers. Sorong serves as the gateway to Raja Ampat, famed for its rich coral reefs and rare marine species, while Timika provides access to Jaya Wijaya Mountain and supports a robust community tied to Indonesia’s largest gold mining operations.
