Pelita Air Takes Flight – New Direct Service Connects Kendari to Jakarta

Great news for travellers! Pelita Air has launched a new direct flight route between Kendari’s Haluoleo Kendari Airport (KDI) and Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta Airport (CGK). This convenient service eliminates the need for layovers, offering a faster and more seamless travel experience between the two cities.

The daily flights operate with one departure each way. The morning flight departs Jakarta at 6:15 AM WITA and arrives in Kendari at 10:10 AM WITA. The return flight takes off from Kendari at 11:15 AM WITA and touches down in Jakarta at 1:10 PM WITA. The service has been well-received, with flights reportedly full on their inaugural days.

This new route is expected to boost connectivity and trade between Kendari and Jakarta. The Southeast Sulawesi Tourism Office is optimistic that the success of this route will encourage Pelita Air to expand its network further, potentially offering direct flights from Denpasar and other major cities to Kendari, capitalizing on the region’s significant tourism potential. When you reach Jakarta, you can find many a Serviced Residence in Jakarta that offer luxurious accommodation such as PARKROYAL Serviced Suites Jakarta.
