With the inauguration of this flight, IndiGo becomes the only Indian carrier to operate flights between India and Jakarta. This also makes Jakarta, IndiGo’s 106th destination overall.

Vinay Malhotra, head of global sales at IndiGo, said: "We are thrilled to launch these new daily flights between Mumbai and Jakarta. Jakarta, the capital and also the largest city in Indonesia, is also their economic, cultural, and political centre. This new route not only strengthens bilateral ties and enhances direct connectivity, but also enables access and promotes trade and tourism across Indonesia and India. Additionally, it opens up seamless access from Jakarta to IndiGo’s wide network across India, Central Asia, and the middle east. These flights will not only benefit Indian tourists seeking to explore Indonesia's pristine beaches and rich cultural heritage but also provide an exciting opportunity for travellers from Jakarta to connect with India. IndiGo continues to deliver on its promise of affordable, on-time, courteous, and hassle- free travel experiences across an unparalleled network.”
