Riyadh Air ouvre Jakarta en Boeing 787-9 dès le 16 novembre 2026
Riyadh Air ajoute Jakarta à son réseau commercial avec trois liaisons hebdomadaires opérées en Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner à partir du 16 novembre 2026.
Riyadh Air continues the expansion of its scheduled network by announcing non-stop service between Riyadh and Jakarta, set to commence on November 16, 2026. The route will be flown three times per week with Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner equipment.
Jakarta represents the 16th destination opened for reservations by the Saudi carrier, which initiated commercial operations during summer 2026. Flight schedules specify departures from Riyadh at 21:45 or 22:50, landing at Soekarno-Hatta Airport the following day. Turnaround legs depart Indonesia in the early afternoon and arrive at the Middle Eastern hub in the evening.
The airline aims to capture business traffic, leisure flows, and significant pilgrimage demand between Indonesia and Saudi Arabia. This expansion operates within the framework of the national Vision 2030 economic program, which seeks to transform Riyadh into an international hub. By the end of the decade, the carrier targets more than 100 foreign destinations.
Operational entry on this sector places Riyadh Air in direct competition with established operators, including Saudia and Garuda Indonesia, alongside connecting traffic handled by neighbouring Gulf carriers.
