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.
