Up to 27,500 seats per week will now be made available to Australian and Indonesian airlines operating between both countries, after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on July 1.
Representing an 86 per cent increase on capacity on existing levels, the agreement covers 25,000 seats per week for airlines of either nation flying to and from Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane, and an additional 2500 seats if those airlines make a stopover flight at an Australian regional international airport. Codesharing will also be permitted between participating airlines.
