PT TransNusa Aviation Mandiri, operating as TransNusa Air Services, usually shortened to TransNusa, is an Indonesian domestic airline serving the east of Indonesia, mainly Nusa Tenggara and southern Sulawesi. Its main base is El Tari Airport, Kupang. It was launched in August 2005 serving various destinations from Kupang, Timor, using aircraft chartered from Pelita Air Service and Trigana Air Service. In August 2011, TransNusa received its own air operator's certificate (AOC) and scheduled commercial airline permit.
TransNusa Air Services undertook its first commercial flight on 4 August 2005 in co-operation with Trigana Air Service. Initial services were established to Waingapu, Tambolaka and Lewoleba followed by routes to Alor, Ende, Maumere, Ruteng serviced by a Trigana Air ATR 42-300.
Subsequently TransNusa agreed to further co-operative partnerships in Nusa Tenggara with Riau Airlines using Fokker 50s with a second Trigana supplied ATR 42 added in April 2006. In June, a Boeing 737-200 was supplied on contract from Trigana to service Kupang-Denpasar-Surabaya and Kupang-Makassar. In late 2006 the 737-200 service was replaced by a Fokker F28-4000.
The aircraft used on the commencement routes were Trigana ATR 42-300s, Riau Airlines Fokker 50s and a Pelita Air Service Fokker F28.
In March 2007, arrangements with Mandala Airlines commenced with TransNusa acting both as a ticketing agent for Mandala at their office in Kupang and operating TransNusa as a feeder service to a then new Mandala Airbus A320 operating services from Kupang airport and linking East Nusa Tenggara into the Mandala Indonesian network through Jakarta and Surabaya. TransNusa commenced by block buying seats on the A320 services.
