Travellers from Victoria, Australia, are set to have a new option for reaching the Indonesian capital city of Jakarta with Qantas’ latest announcement of non-stop flights from Melbourne.
The flights are scheduled to commence on April 16th, three times a week, pending approval.
This will be the airline’s third international route from Melbourne since borders re-opened, following direct flights to Delhi and Dallas-Fort Worth.
QF39 will depart Melbourne at 3:10 pm every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday and arrive at Soekarno Hatta International Airport in Jakarta at 7:15 pm.
With a flight time of over 7 hours, travellers seated in the spacious Airbus A330 business class will have ample time to relax and enjoy entertainment.
QF40 will then make its return journey to Melbourne, taking off at 9:00 pm every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday, arriving at 6:40 am the next day.
Jakarta, a bustling city of over 10 million residents, is already linked to Melbourne by Garuda Indonesia which operates every Sunday and Thursday.
The Garuda flight departs Melbourne at 9:10 am and arrives at 12:15 pm.
It is worth noting that Qantas’ previously planned Perth-Jakarta flights, which were scheduled to start in November 2022, were not able to take off due to operational constraints in Perth.
