TransNusa Becomes Second Indonesian Airline To Launch Guangzhou Flight
JAKARTA, Nov 17, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Southeast Asia’s first premium service airline, TransNusa, has made history in Indonesia by becoming the second Indonesian airline to have obtained approvals to operate scheduled flights to China.
The airline successfully launched its inaugural flight to Guangzhou from Jakarta yesterday, making Indonesia and Indonesians proud by showcasing its experience, strength, strong safety, and security measures as well as well-equipped flight plans.
TransNusa’s highly anticipated maiden flight, 8B 860 departed Jakarta at 18.10pm and arrived in Guangzhou earlier today at 12.10am as per schedule, without any delays.
TransNusa Group Chief Executive Officer, also an aviation industry expert, Datuk Bernard Francis said that today was not only a historical day for TransNusa but also for the Indonesian aviation industry.
“As we chart TransNusa’s growth plan, we hope to make Indonesia and Indonesians proud of our achievements as we showcase Indonesia’s aviation strength as well as our culture to passengers worldwide,” Datuk Bernard said, adding that TransNusa is expecting to cater to the business and leisure travellers for this new route.
With regard to details of the Jakarta-Guangzhou route, Datuk Bernard said TransNusa will fly the Jakarta – Guangzhou roundtrip route three times a week, with daily flights starting from the 20th of December 2023.
Flights will depart Terminal 3 Soekarno – Hatta International Airport at 18.10 pm on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and arrive at 12.10 am at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Flights from Guangzhou will depart at 01.25 am on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays and arrive in Jakarta at 5.40am. Tickets for this new international route will start at $149 .
“With the introduction of our Guangzhou route, we have, in eight months, successfully expanded our international route from South East Asia to encompass the Asia Pacific region,” said Datuk Bernard.
For the Jakarta – Guangzhou route, the premium service provider, will be deploying its Airbus A320, ensuring that its passengers have a comfortable shuttle throughout the 5-hour journey. TransNusa’s A320s have been configured with a 174-seat configuration, which allows passengers to enjoy 30-31 inches of legroom.
“The services we offer for our international flights are above the service level of a low-cost carrier. As such, the flying experience with TransNusa to international destinations will differ from flying with us on domestic routes since TransNusa operates as a low-cost airline business model in the domestic market.” Datuk Bernard concluded.
TransNusa announced its plans to launch international flights with a new business model in April this year. Within the short span of 8 months, the airline has introduced flights to Kuala Lumpur, Johor and now Guangzhou, China. In addition, on November 20th, TransNusa will be launching its inaugural flight to Singapore.
About TransNusa (Revised to include Johor)
Established in 2005, TransNusa started its operation by providing chartered flights. It began its commercial flights in 2011. After ceasing operations due to the Covid-19 pandemic, TransNusa relaunched itself in 2021 as a low-cost airline in its domestic market. In 2023, TransNusa introduced a new business model making it the first Premium Service Airline in the region. The new business model will apply only to its international routes. TransNusa introduced its first international route, Jakarta – Kuala Lumpur, in April this year and its second international route Jakarta-Johor, in September, this year.
The airline is currently based in Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta International Airport. Passengers can book their flights on the TransNusa website, transnusa.co.id, through authorized travel agents in Indonesia, or by contacting the airline’s customer service centre at, +62216310888.

PUMA will become the official technical partner of CAF and supply the official match ball at severall CAF events, including the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2023.
PUMA has a long-standing tradition of football partnerships in Africa since first equipping national teams starting in 1997. Today PUMA has agreements with six football federations on the African continent, including Morocco, the first African nation ever to reach the semifinals at a World Cup, and Senegal, the current African champions.
The passion for football runs deep in Africa and PUMA has taken a unique and creative approach in its partnerships with its African teams over the years, said Johan Kuhlo, General Manager EEMEA Distribution at PUMA. Our agreement with CAF celebrates this passion for the sport across the continent and we will jointly develop exciting products specifically for African football.
The agreement, which will commence on November 1, will see PUMA supply the official matchball at CAF tournaments, provide the kit for referees and engage in several marketing opportunities, both inside and outside of the stadium. The appeal of African football extends well beyond the continent, with a strong viewership in major markets such as the UK, France and the United States.
PUMA has been a big part of some of African footballs most iconic moments over the years, on the international stage and with some of Africas major clubs, said CAF President Dr Patrice Motsepe. Making African Football globally competitive requires that African teams must win on the field, which needs partnerships with global companies with a strong commitment to African Football. We are absolutely delighted to have a world-class company in PUMA join the CAF family as a strong partner in helping us grow the game on the continent.
PUMA and CAF will launch the official match ball for TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Cote dIvoire 2023 at the Final Draw on October 12 .
Indonesian airline, PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri (TransNusa), the new player with new rules, announced that it would become the second airline in the country to introduce commercial flights to Guangzhou, China.

Since early this year, TransNusa has been enjoying a healthy growth pattern as it rebranded itself as a Premium Service Carrier for its international routes by introducing a new business model. Datuk Bernard had said previously that for its international routes, the services that TransNusa offers exceeds that of a low-cost airline. “Based on our intensive market research, we know that traveller’s behavioural pattern has changed, specifically due to the Covid-19 pandemic and as a result of this, we have curated different packages to meet the needs of different passengers. “For our international flights, we not only provide premium services with competitive ticket prices in comparison to other low-cost airlines, but we have attractive new product bundles called SEAT, SEAT-PLUS and FLEXI-PRO. “Our passengers will enjoy check-in baggage of between 15kgs to 30 kgs, depending on the product purchased,” Datuk Bernard said, explaining that the baggage offering was over and above the 7kgs limit offered as a passenger’s hand carry. “For the highest package, FLEXI-PRO, we provide more complete services such as free baggage 30kgs, free to choose seats, free food, and drinks, priority at check-in and boarding, no less interesting is passengers’ ability to be able to change the flight schedule without restrictions and obtain refund when needed. “Many people look for competitive ticket prices when they want to travel, but they also expect the best service. Therefore, we are committed to providing affordable and competitive ticket prices, while still providing premium services to our customers. We offer various facilities and services that can enhance your travel experiences, such as more comfortable seats, high-quality food and beverages, as well as friendly and professional service from our crew. With our competitive ticket prices and premium services, we are confident that you will be satisfied with your travel experience with us.” added Datuk Bernard. To further elaborate on just how much consideration TransNusa has given toward the customer’s comfort, it would only be right to highlight the fact that TransNusa has configured their A320s with a 174 seat configuration, which allows for passengers to enjoy 30-31 inches of legroom that is comparable to the experience one would get in a full-service airline. In addition to this, TransNusa will as well be providing customers who purchase the more premium bundles, unlimited flight changes. Customers who have purchased a bundle that provides this service will only have to pay the difference in fare for the next flight and will not incur any penalty charges. Furthermore, passengers who opt for this bundle will also be entitled to a meal on board. Other than Guangzhou and Singapore, TransNusa also had commercial flights to Kuala Lumpur and Johor Bahru Malaysia, Bali and Yogyakarta.

Japan – MHI Becomes a Full Member of the Japan Center for Engagement and Remedy on Business and Human Rights (JaCER)
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has become a full member of the Japan Center for Engagement and Remedy on Business and Human Rights (JaCER) and started utilizing the Engagement and Remedy Platform provided and operated by JaCER.
JaCER supports its member companies in redressing grievances related to human rights in a professional capacity through its Engagement and Remedy Platform, a non-judicial platform based on the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights. As globalization has accelerated in recent years, companies are increasingly expected by the international community to manage their operations in a manner that respects the human rights of all stakeholders.
The UN Guiding Principles require companies to address three main elements: policy commitment, human rights due diligence, and processes to enable the remediation of any adverse human rights impacts (grievance mechanisms). The MHI Group Human Rights Policy was established in 2021 to clarify the MHI Group’s stance on human rights when conducting business activities in countries and regions around the world. This policy pledges to respect human rights in the MHI Group, following the MHI Group Global Code of Conduct. In line with this Policy, the Group will strive to fulfill its responsibilities in important areas related to human rights.
Furthermore, the Human Rights Due Diligence Task Force, which was established under the Sustainability Committee in fiscal 2021, have reviewed how to proceed with human rights due diligence. Human Rights Due Diligence Liaison Meeting, established in fiscal 2022, shares the status of due diligence efforts with relevant internal divisions, including business divisions, and discusses future measures.
And MHI Group have been conducting due diligence since fiscal 2022 with a focus on suppliers in high-risk areas.
To date, the MHI Group has operated various internal and external grievance mechanisms such as a customer support hotline, whistleblowing hotline and harassment consultation helplines. With the Engagement and Remedy Platform provided by JaCER, a system has been put in place to respond both to consultation from all stakeholders, including those in the supply chain, and to knowledge shared by third parties, and in doing so, strengthen efforts to respect human rights in response to the demands of the international community, including the UN Guiding Principles.
MHI conducts corporate management that respects business and human rights by utilizing JaCER’s Engagement and Remedy Platform as a third-party service to receive human rights-related consultation from all stakeholders in a timely manner, and by implementing appropriate responses to the consultation received in a fair and transparent manner.
