Emirates has activated its codeshare partnership
with Batik Air, an Indonesian airline which is part of the Lion
Air Group.
The expanded connectivity gives travellers access to 25 points in Indonesia on a single ticket and one
baggage policy.
As part of the deal, Emirates has
placed its code on 8 routes operated by Batik Air via Jakarta to –
Balikpapan (BPN), Denpasar (DPS), Medan (KNO), Manado (MDC),
Padang (PDG), Surakarta (SOC), Surabaya (SUB) and Makassar (UPG).
In addition, Emirates customers can
also access 17 more domestic points in Indonesia via Jakarta
and Denpasar to cities such as Praya (LOP), Semarang (SRG),
Sorong (SOQ) and more, via an interline agreement.
Emirates has been serving Indonesia for over 30
years, since the commencement of its first flight to Jakarta back
in 1992.
Earlier this year, Emirates launched a codeshare agreement
with Indonesia’s national carrier, Garuda, allowing customers
to access eight domestic points in Indonesia, beyond Jakarta and
Bali.
Emirates currently has codeshare cooperation
agreements in place with 26 airline partners and two rail
companies around the world, as well as 110 interline partners
worldwide.
The airline operates flights to over 130 destinations across 6 continents.
