Indonesian airline TransNusa will become the first non-Malaysian airline to operate flights to Subang Airport – one of the two main airports serving Kuala Lumpur.
From August 1, TransNusa will launch daily flights from Indonesia's capital Jakarta to Subang. TransNusa group chief executive offier Datuk Bernand Francis stated that the airline will use its Airbus A320 aircraft with 174 seats on the route.
The new route to Subang will add to TransNusa's services to Malaysia where it operates flights to both Kuala Lumpur's airports – Subang and the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) – and Johor Bahru. The airline's other international routes also includes flights to Singapore and Guangzhou, China.
TransNusa was one of two foreign airlines given approval by the Malaysian Aviation Commision (MAVCOM) to operate flights to/from Subang's Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport – located west of the center of Kuala Lumpur. Previously serving turboprop aircraft, airport operator Malaysia Airports Holdings Berhad stated Subang Airport will be opened for jet aircraft operations in August.
“As an Indonesian airline that has only been operating for 20 months, we are proud to launch a series of new daily scheduled flights to the Subang Airport and play a part in making history with the Subang Airport team in Malaysia,” Datuk Bernard said.
According to a report from the Business Times Malaysia, three Malaysia-based airlines – FireFly Sdn Berhad (Firefly), Batik Air Malaysia, and AirAsia Malaysia – will operate Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 to/from Subang. The second foreign airline after TransNusa has not been named.
