Citilink, the low-cost subsidiary of Garuda Indonesia, has launched its first non-stop scheduled flight to the Inner Mongolia city of Ordos from Batam on 28 April 2018 using its Airbus A320 aircraft.
On 28 April 2018, Citilink flight QG5900 departs from Batam for Ordos (airport code DSN, derived from Dongsheng district of Ordos) at 1.30 am, arrives in Ordos at 9 am before leaving Ordos for Batam at 10 am and touching down in Batam at 3.30 pm local time under flight QG5901.
Citilink said the Batam-Ordos flight is a seasonal scheduled route. Service operates on Saturdays until 7 July 2018. Since there are no flights from Jakarta or Singapore to Inner Mongolia, the airline has chosen to open this route for the benefit of passengers who would like to see the grasslands and experience the lifestyle of Mongolian nomads without paying for exorbitant tickets to Mongolia.
Batam is the second city in Southeast Asia to open a scheduled flight link to Inner Mongolia and this will follow by a third flight connection between Ordos and Phnom Penh later this year.
The first Southeast Asia airport to have a non-stop flight to Ordos is Suvarnabhumi, one of two gateways to Bangkok besides Don Mueang. There are weekly scheduled flights by Ural Airlines to Suvarnabhumi from Ordos, replacing MIAT Mongolian Airlines' suspended flights to Suvarnabhumi from Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia.
Citilink also operates flights from Denpasar to Nantong, near Shanghai. Other Chinese cities that have flight connections to Citilink's route network include Nanjing and Kunming.
