Lion Air in the network the desk measures
Computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics. The desk holds departure schedules for 571 airports, and for the JT code that yields 64 city pairs across 33 of them. It is a measured sample of the published timetable and not the whole of it. Frequencies move with the season, and a quote is priced on the flights running the day you ask.

The schedule the desk holds carries the JT code on 64 city pairs, reaching 33 airports in 5 countries and territories. Some of those sectors are flown by Lion Air and some are sold under its code and flown by a partner, which is how the published timetable states it and how a booking has to be read. 100 per cent of those airports sit on Asian time zones, and the carrier appears on no other block in this sample.
01The longest sector held for the carrier is Jeddah (JED) to Ujung Pandang-Celebes Island (UPG) at about 9,229 km, and the shortest is Jakarta (CGK) to Bandar Lampung-Sumatra Island (TKG) at about 191 km. 6 of the 64 pairs run past 5,000 km, so the carrier carries a courier across a continent on some sectors and shuttles on the rest. The airport that appears most often on those pairs is Surabaya (SUB), on 21 of them, which is 32.8 per cent of everything held under this code.
02The thickest sector under the code is Jakarta (CGK) to Denpasar-Bali Island (DPS) at about 36.7 movements a day, which across a full day is roughly one every 0.7 hours. On a sector at that cadence a missed departure costs a wait rather than a night. That sector does not touch Surabaya (SUB), the airport this code is booked through most often, so the desk treats it as a seat sold under the code rather than flown by the carrier, and confirms the operating airline before it quotes. 25 of the 64 pairs run four or more times a day and 20 run once a day or less. The second figure is the one that matters when a consignment leaves the factory late, because on those sectors the desk will quote a different carrier rather than promise an hour it cannot hold. After Surabaya (SUB) the code leans on Ujung Pandang-Celebes Island (UPG) on 21, Jakarta (CGK) on 13, Jeddah (JED) on 6 pairs respectively, and those are the airports a dispatcher looks at second when the first routing is full.
The sectors that carry the JT code most often
The 16 sectors the JT code appears on most often, out of 64. Flights a day is the average daily scheduled movement on the busier of the two directions, as held on 2026-09-07. The schedule lists a code against a sector whether the carrier operates it or sells it, so read this as where the code can be booked. Distances are great circle, computed from the published coordinates of the two airports.
How a courier reaches Surabaya from the Gulf
The schedule the desk holds shows no JT service into a UAE airport, so a courier does not board this carrier in Dubai. The routing is built the other way round: a Gulf carrier takes the first leg to Surabaya (SUB), and Lion Air carries the second. The desk holds no non-stop link between a UAE gateway and SUB either, which means two changes and a routing the dispatcher checks by hand before it quotes.
Night restrictions on the airports the JT code uses
A hand carry is bought for the hours it saves, and an airport that will not take a movement after a certain hour can spend those hours back. 1 of the 33 airports this code is booked through carry a restriction the desk holds in writing, checked 2026-09-07. Exemptions and seasonal variations exist, and the desk confirms the position with the airport or the carrier before it books.
- Denpasar-Bali Island (DPS), nyepi closure. The airport closes for 24 hours once a year for Nyepi, the Balinese day of silence, in March or April; the date moves with the Balinese calendar. No flights operate and nothing moves on the island.
Published lanes the JT code can carry half of
None of the 346 lanes the site publishes is flown end to end under this code. These 10 are the ones it touches at one end, which is how a routing gets built when no single carrier covers the whole distance: a Gulf carrier takes the first leg and this one finishes it. The lane index holds the rest.

The countries the JT code opens
Of the 5 countries and territories reached, 4 are reached at a single airport, which for a courier means one airport of entry and a road leg for everything else in that country. The deepest is Indonesia with 29 airports on this code. The country desk for Indonesia sets out the customs practice, the working hours and the road legs behind these airports.
Indonesia (29 airports), China (1 airports), Malaysia (1 airports), Brunei (1 airports), Saudi Arabia (1 airports).
Where to go next on the JT network
Each of the 33 airports above has its own atlas entry with the full destination list, and each of the 64 sectors can be opened in the calculator with the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour worked out. Start with the atlas entry for Surabaya (SUB), the route calculator with Dubai to SUB already filled in, the carrier index for the other 236 airlines the desk lists and the airport atlas itself.
