The airline says a new bilateral agreement concluded this month between Indonesia and Australia has allocated an additional 4000 seats per week from each country, allowing Batavia to service Perth "and then Sydney and Melbourne".

Batavia said it will operate A319 flights to Perth, and a brand new A330-200 for Sydney and Melbourne.
