Riyadh Air has opened bookings for new direct flights between Riyadh and Jakarta, Indonesia. The service begins on November 16, 2026, with three weekly flights operated by Boeing 787-9 aircraft.
Jakarta becomes the 16th destination available to book across Riyadh Air’s network as the airline expands in Asian markets, according to an announcement on its website.
Flights from King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, with return services on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
Flight RX0869 departs Riyadh at 10:50 p.m. and arrives in Jakarta at noon the following day. Return flight RX0870 leaves Jakarta at 3 p.m. and arrives in Riyadh at 8:15 p.m. All times are local.
Riyadh Air CEO Tony Douglas said Jakarta’s addition formed part of the airline’s Asian network expansion and supported business, tourism and religious travel between Saudi Arabia and Indonesia.
Bilateral trade reached $6.6 billion in 2025 and $2.6 billion in the first half of 2026, with automotive trade exceeding $1.7 billion annually.
The new flights offer connections through Riyadh to other destinations on the airline’s network, alongside direct travel between the Saudi and Indonesian capitals.
The Boeing 787-9 aircraft offer four travel categories: Business Elite, Business, Premium Economy and Economy.
Passengers can also join the Sfeer loyalty programme, which offers benefits including onboard internet access and points that do not expire, alongside other member privileges.
