Located in Sequis Tower, the new retail space spans 221 sqm and was officially inaugurated by Orhan Abbas, Emirates Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations, Far East, in the presence of HE Abdulla Salem AlDhaheri, Ambassador of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Indonesia, along with other distinguished guests, trade partners, and media representatives.

“We are delighted to launch Emirates’ newest travel store in Indonesia, bringing our world-class hospitality and personalised service closer to our valued customers. This innovative concept reflects our commitment to excellence, customer-centricity, and delivering seamless travel experiences. By blending cutting-edge technology with the expertise of our dedicated consultants, we aim to offer a holistic travel experience for customers, starting from the moment they begin planning their journey — until they board our aircraft.” said Orhan Abbas.

A new chapter in retail travel excellence

Emirates Travel Store in Jakarta offers Indonesian customers an in-person space where personalised services and immersive brand experiences come together under one roof. Thoughtfully designed to embody modern luxury and comfort, the store offers a warm and relaxed atmosphere – soft beige and sofas, complemented by sleek, contemporary furnishings, create a comfortable lounge setting for customers before they consult with Emirates travel advisors. While waiting, guests are encouraged to browse a curated selection of Emirates-branded merchandise and exclusive travel accessories, elegantly displayed at the store’s heart.

At four dedicated customer service counters, Emirates’ trained travel advisors offer customers personalised support with flight reservations, ticketing, and inquiries about the airline’s latest offerings, products, and destinations. Committed to delivering Emirates’ signature hospitality at the highest standard, the team ensures every visitor enjoys a seamless, thoughtful, and elevated experience from the moment they enter the store.

A prominent feature of the space is a wall display of the iconic Ghaf tree, the UAE’s national tree, positioned above a dynamic LED screen highlighting Emirates’ milestones, destinations, and exclusive offers. Adding to the innovative experience, a voice-activated LED selfie screen at the entrance invites guests to snap fun photos with backdrops of iconic Emirates destinations. Images are then accessible via QR codes, eliminating the need for printed images.

Emirates’ Jakarta Travel Store is the first to implement a queue management system, providing guests and Emirates Skywards members with a more seamless and personalised retail experience. The queue management system reduces waiting time and enables guests to share feedback on their experience via WhatsApp.

SINGAPORE, 28 April 2025: EHL Hospitality Business School, a global institution in hospitality management education, has launched the Tourism Leadership Excellence & Advancement Programme (T-LEAP) in collaboration with the Singapore Tourism Board (STB). 

This pioneering executive programme empowers senior executives and business leaders in the tourism sector with cutting-edge leadership, sustainability, and technology skills essential for shaping the sector’s future.

Melissa Ow, Chief Executive of the Singapore Tourism Board, presented programme certificates to graduates at the inaugural T-LEAP closing ceremony.

Each run of the programme takes place over five days at EHL Campus (Singapore). T-LEAP equips high-potential professionals with the expertise to navigate and drive innovation in Singapore’s dynamic tourism landscape. With a curriculum crafted in collaboration with STB, the programme is tailored to address the evolving needs of tourism executives.

The T-LEAP programme comprises three core modules:

  • Leadership Excellence & Strategic Growth: Covering Singapore’s tourism goals, strategic planning, and business partnerships.
  • Sustainability & Innovation: Addressing sustainability in tourism, circular solutions, and sustainability reporting.
  • Technology & Digital Transformation: Exploring digital trends, AI-driven operational efficiency, and the role of technology in shaping the future of tourism.

Through T-LEAP, participants will develop leadership acumen, gain sustainability insights, leverage technological advancements, and expand professional networks through interactions with industry experts. Additionally, they will be inducted into the Singapore Leaders Network (SGLN), a platform to encourage cross-collaboration and knowledge sharing.

The launch of T-LEAP marks a significant milestone in EHL’s strategic expansion in Asia-Pacific, reinforcing its commitment to creating a dynamic hub for hospitality and tourism education. Furthermore, it is EHL’s first SkillsFuture-funded programme, underscoring its relevance to the evolving needs of Singapore’s workforce.

“At EHL, we are committed to fostering the next generation of tourism leaders through innovative and impactful learning experiences. T-LEAP brings together cutting-edge academic excellence, industry expertise, and real-world application to prepare professionals for the rapidly changing landscape of tourism,” said EHL Faculty Member Dr Guy Llewellyn.

“Tourism leadership development is critical in navigating our rapidly evolving industry. Through T-LEAP, we aim to build a future-ready tourism sector and nurture a new generation of tourism leaders capable of driving innovation and forging strategic collaboration,” said the Singapore Tourism Board Chief Executive Melissa Ow.

Following the successful delivery of a pilot programme in February this year, STB has validated and extended the initiative for additional runs, demonstrating confidence in its impact on the sector. The first two runs are confirmed to take place in May and over October and November 2025, with the possibility of additional iterations based on demand and participant feedback.

Air India planning flights to Manila?

By
TTR WEEKLY

MANILA, 28 April 2025: Air India is expected to introduce direct flights to Manila from the Indian capital, Delhi, by the year’s end, according to a Philippines News Agency report quoting the Philippines Tourism Secretary Christina Frasco.

On the sidelines of a European Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines (ECCP) luncheon meeting in Makati, the Tourism Secretary who heads the country’s Department of Tourism noted that the government considers India as a “huge potential source market for the Philippines.”

The Philippines News Agency quoted the DOT chief: “We are hopeful that the Air India flights will begin in the latter part of this year. We have had various coordination with Air India, our private sector, the Department of Transportation, CAAP (Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines), and CAB (Civil Aeronautics Board.” 

In February, CAAP met with Air India executives and discussed the application process for establishing direct air service between the two states.

PNA reported that CAAP would streamline the flight approval process while ensuring compliance with all applicable safety and operational standards.

About 79,000 Indian visitors travelled to the Philippines in 2024, more than 12% higher than the previous year but fewer than the numbers recorded by neighbouring Southeast Asian states.

According to the latest Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) data, more than 4.2 million Indians travelled to the region in 2024 alone. However, there are no direct flights from any major city in India to destinations in the Philippines. The most convenient route involves travellers flying Air India to Singapore to connect with Philippine Airlines flights to Manila.

Once Air India starts direct flights from Delhi, the Philippines can boost tourism from India, one of the largest source markets generating tourist visits to Southeast Asia. Air France and Air Canada recently introduced direct flights from Paris and Vancouver to Manila.

Based on the information and recent media reports, there are strong indicators that Air India will commence flights between Delhi (DEL) and Manila (MNL) later this year, even though the company has not commented on its expansion plans.

Several reliable sources state that Air India plans to launch flights to Manila from Delhi, often mentioned alongside other plans to expand routes to Jakarta, Dallas, and Los Angeles.

Earlier this year, reports suggested that the Manila and Jakarta routes are targeted for initiation by the fourth quarter of 2025. The launch of these new routes depends on aircraft availability as Air India expands its fleet.   

Currently, there are no direct flights between India and the Philippines. Air India’s entry into this route would bridge this gap, catering to the increasing demand for travel between the two countries for tourism, business, and education (especially for Indian students pursuing medical education in the Philippines).   

Given their suitability for medium-haul international flights, the Boeing 787 Dreamliners are identified as likely aircraft for the Manila route.

KUALA LUMPUR, 28 April 2025: Malaysia Airlines and Melbourne Airport have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that supports the airline’s expansion in Melbourne marking a significant step forward in strengthening air connectivity between Malaysia and Australia.

The signing ceremony held at the MATTA Fair 2025 19 April focuses on expanding Malaysia Airlines’ network and helps establish Kuala Lumpur as a gateway for Australians travelling to Malaysia and beyond. 

As part of its expansion, Malaysia Airlines will introduce a third daily service from Kuala Lumpur to Melbourne starting October 2025, increasing weekly flights from 14 to 21. 

Malaysia Aviation Group, Chief Commercial Officer of Airlines Dersenish Aresandiran said: “This collaboration marks an exciting new chapter for Malaysia Airlines as we expand our network with the introduction of a third daily service to Melbourne. 

We are committed to providing passengers with more direct flight options while ensuring an exceptional travel experience defined by comfort, premium service, and the warmth of Malaysian Hospitality. Through our collaboration with Melbourne Airport, we aim to enhance connectivity, drive demand, and reinforce our position as the gateway to Asia and beyond. Our partnership with Melbourne Airport aims to enhance connectivity, drive demand, and reinforce our position as the gateway to Asia and beyond.

It will also improve connections via Kuala Lumpur to destinations across Southeast Asia, India, and Europe.

Additional flights scheduled through to 31 October 2025

Malaysia Aviation Group reports 2024 net profit

Meanwhile Malaysia Aviation Group Malaysia Aviation Group reports a positive Net Profit After Interest and Tax of MYR54 million for the year 2024, marking a third consecutive year of positive operating profit at MYR113million. 

The performance, underscored by robust Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) of MYR788 million, was achieved despite operational headwinds, including proactive network cuts in Q4 2024, which reduced capacity by 18%.

The airline group maintained a strong cash balance of MYR3 billion as of 31 December 2024, without any capital injections from its main shareholder, Khazanah Nasional Berhad, since October 2021.

The capacity cuts, driven by supply chain disruptions which extended maintenance times and delays in new aircraft delivery, were implemented during a traditionally strong quarter, impacting the group’s full-year revenue, which stood at MYR13,679 million — a marginal 1% decrease year-on-year on the back of a 6% increase in Available Seat Kilometre (ASK). However, passenger traffic remained robust in the premium segment, with stronger load factors for both passenger and cargo segments. The group also expanded its international network through new routes and deep partnership collaborations..

By 2030, the group aims to operate a new generation narrowbody fleet of 55 aircraft comprising the Boeing 737-8 and 737-10, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and flexibility to better serve both domestic and international markets. In parallel, the group is integrating A330neo aircraft into its long-haul network. Two aircraft have already entered service, operating to Melbourne, Bali and Auckland, with eight more expected this year.

With forward bookings increasing approximately 9% year-on-year, the group anticipates expanding its presence in key markets, including ASEAN, Australia, New Zealand, and South Asia, reinforcing Kuala Lumpur as a gateway to Asia and beyond. This strategic growth is further complemented by its return to Paris on 22 March 2025, marking the second European destination in the network.

MAB’s yearly capacity increased by 7%, with a 17% rise in passengers carried and a load factor of 81% compared to 77% in 2023.

MAB introduced three new destinations: Male (Maldives), Danang (Vietnam), and Chiang Mai (Thailand), and resumed flights to Kolkata, India.

Dusit community project teaches kids to swim

KRABI, 25 April 2025: From “I can’t swim” to competing with the world: How Dusit Thani Krabi Beach Resort empowers local youth through swimming. Check its latest video, Heroes of Hospitality.

In the serene paradise of Krabi, Thailand, a heartwarming initiative is making waves — transforming young lives through the life-changing power of swimming.

Co-founded in 2019 by the resort’s Recreation Manager, Thaworn Srimun, the Junior Sports Team began with a simple mission — teach local children from nearby Ban Klong Muang School how to swim. Since then, it has grown into a meaningful initiative that nurtures not only essential water safety and swimming skills, but also confidence, resilience, and a sense of ambition.

Each year, Thaworn and a dedicated team of Dusit associates contribute more than 600 volunteer hours to coaching. Under their patient guidance, children progress from learning in the resort’s pool to swimming confidently in the open waters of the Andaman Sea. For those who show incredible swimming skills, it may culminate in the extraordinary opportunity to compete in Oceanman Krabi, one of the region’s most prestigious open-water swimming events.

Behind the scenes, Dusit Krabi’s Administration and Social Media Executive, Supranee Ruenreung, plays a vital role in ensuring every session is safe, balanced, and aligned with the programme’s true purpose: empowerment, not just podium finishes.

The Junior Sports Team is more than just a swimming programme. It’s a powerful example of how hospitality can extend beyond hotel walls —  creating opportunities, unlocking potential, and fostering lasting change in the community.

Chance to shine at the Oceanman Krabi

The Oceanman Krabi is an open-water swimming event in the Oceanman series of races, which are held in various locations worldwide. 

Location: The event is typically held at Klong Mueang Beach in the Nong Thale sub-district of the Mueang Krabi district, near the Ao Nang and Noppharat Thara beaches.

  • Oceanman: 10 kilometers   
  • Half Oceanman: 5 km   
  • Sprint: 2 km   
  • Oceankids: 500 metres
  • Oceanteams: 3 x 500 metres relay   

Schedule: The event held in late March annually typically lasts three days and includes social swims, registration, race briefings, primary races, and award ceremonies. 

Part of a series: Oceanman Krabi is part of the international Oceanman series, which aims for a significant global presence.
