DATA SPOTLIGHT: Citilink

24 February, 2020

This year The Blue Swan Daily will feature some of the leading airlines, airports and country markets for air travel. Here, using the extensive profile insights available to CAPA - Centre for Aviation members to deliver a data snapshot, we look at Citilink, an Indonesian LCC that is expanding into long-haul markets following the addition of widebodied aircraft.

The subsidiary of flag carrier Garuda Indonesia, Citilink has now added two Airbus A330-900neo aircraft to its fleet on lease from Avolon. The first was delivered in early Dec-2019 and the second in the middle of Jan-2020 and each is configured with 42 premium economy and 323 economy seats.

The new widebodies are initially being used on local flights, mainly Jakarta - Medan, but also to operate into Saudi Arabia. The airline plans to use the aircraft to expand its network into new markets and has preliminary filed schedules to commence a daily Jakarta - Tokyo Narita service from 02-May-2020 and a four times weekly Denpasar - Jakarta - Frankfurt link from 02-Jun-2020.
