Beyond Bali, Labuan Bajo is one of Indonesia’s most visited places. It is sought out by nature enthusiasts and keen divers, on account of its pristine beaches and being the only place in the world where the Komodo dragons can be seen in its habitat.
The new service is set to operate twice a week, in addition to Jetstar Asia’s Indonesian network, which already includes: Denpasar’s I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS), Surabaya’s Juanda International Airport (SUB), Medan’s Kualanamu International Airport (KNO), and Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (CGK) in Jakarta.
“From diving in some of the world’s most vibrant coral reefs to exploring the natural beauty of Komodo National Park or meeting the iconic Komodo dragon up close and personal, Labuan Bajo offers an unforgettable experience for every traveler,” Jetstar Asia CEO John Simeone said in a statement.
“As we celebrate our 20th birthday, this route not only expands our network but also reinforces our commitment to offering safe and affordable travel while supporting local tourism and economic growth, all while ensuring more travellers get to visit this hidden gem in Indonesia,” Simeone added.
