SilkAir Launches Yogyakarta Flights

SilkAir, the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, has launched flights to Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

SilkAir’s flights to Yogyakarta will operate three times weekly, with departures on Monday, Friday and Sunday.

The flights will be operated by the A319 and A320 aircraft, featuring both Business and Economy Class.

Flight MI152 departs Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 at 08:10, and is scheduled to arrive in Yogyakarta’s Adisucipto International Airport at 09:30.

The return flight, MI151 departs Yogyakarta at 11:00, and is scheduled to reach Singapore at 14:25 (all times local).

Gateway to the famous Borobudur Buddhist Temple and Prambanan Hindu Temple in Central Java - both Unesco World Heritage sites - Yogyakarta is the hub of classical Javanese fine art and culture, renowned for its puppetry, batik and poetry. A city steeped in history and tradition, it was the seat of the ancient Mataram Empire in the 18th and 19th century. Yogyakarta is blessed with natural wonders and rich Javanese heritage, and is the second most visited Indonesian destination after Bali.

With this latest launch, SilkAir’s frequencies to Indonesia will now increase to 70 flights weekly.
