Asia Pacific budget carrier Jetstar Group has signed a tourism marketing partnership with Indonesia.
The MoU hopes to help more lure travellers to the country from both Down Under and throughout Asia.
"With up to 80% of international tourists arriving into Indonesia by air, the role that airlines like the Jetstar Group plays will be critical in enabling the Indonesian government achieve its 2017 and 2019’s tourism targets," tourism minister Arief Yahya said.
The nation has set a target of 15 million tourist arrivals for this year and 20 million by 2019.
The alliance will see Jetstar increase capacity to its current six destinations – Bali, Surabaya, Medan, Jakarta, Palembang and Pekanbaru.
Jetstar Airways and Singapore-based Jetstar Asia carry a combined 1.4 million passengers to Indonesia annually.
The two parties will also cooperate on joint marketing activities in Australia and Asia.
