Mandala adds Jakarta-Bangkok service

INDONESIAN budget carrier Mandala Airlines will commence daily Jakarta-Bangkok services on August 10, as part of its international network expansion.

Bangkok will be the third overseas destination for the airline, after Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. It recently took to the skies in April after more than a year’s hiatus due to financial difficulties.

Michael Coltman, CEO of Mandala Airlines, said the company is “excited to offer customers more flight choices to the city”.

“To meet Indonesians’ desire for travel, we will continue to seek opportunities to expand our network in Indonesia and the region,” he said.

To celebrate the new service, the airline is offering a promotional fare of 699,000 rupiah (US$77) – one-way and all-inclusive – which will be available till October 26 for travel between August 10 and October 27.
