Lombok, which is 150km east of Bali and a rapidly developing tourism destination, is the fifth destination in Indonesia served by Jetstar.
Jetstar CEO David Hall said: “As more holiday-makers have the opportunity to experience Lombok, with its pristine beaches and natural attractions, we expect it will quickly become one of the most popular destinations in our network.
Perth Airport worked collaboratively with Jetstar to bring the new route to fruition.
