Pelita Air officially inaugurated its first international flight from Jakarta to Singapore on 18 August 2025, touching down smoothly at Changi Airport’s Terminal 4. The milestone was celebrated with a ceremony attended by the Indonesian Ambassador to Singapore, along with the Deputy Ambassador and other diplomatic officials.
The new route marks more than just an airline expansion — it reflects Indonesia’s commitment to strengthening regional air connectivity and deepening ties with Singapore.
Operating daily, the Jakarta–Singapore service connects seamlessly to 17 cities across Indonesia via Pelita Air’s domestic network. The route is designed to benefit both leisure travellers and business communities by improving access to Indonesia’s cultural and economic hubs.
“This is a major achievement for Pelita Air and Indonesia’s aviation sector,” said a company representative. “Linking two key ASEAN capitals helps foster tourism, trade, and long-term economic growth.”
Singapore, a central gateway to Southeast Asia, now welcomes Pelita Air, reinforcing regional integration under ASEAN’s vision. The airline’s expansion is expected to support sustainable economic development while advancing Indonesia’s ambitions in the regional aviation market.
As global travel continues to recover, Pelita Air’s international debut offers passengers more choices, better connectivity, and renewed momentum for cross-border collaboration.
