TransNusa operates flight 8B5370 (departing Denpasar at 07:10) and 8B5376 (departing at 18:05) daily to Surabaya, with returns 8B5371 and 8B5373, according to schedule data published by AeroRoutes on September 18, 2026. The TransNusa Wikipedia article independently lists Surabaya as "Resumes 21 September 2026" in the carrier's current route table, confirming the launch date.

The Denpasar–Surabaya corridor links Bali, Indonesia's premier tourist destination, with Surabaya, the country's second-largest city and a major industrial and commercial centre. The route is one of Indonesia's busier domestic corridors, served by several carriers including Garuda Indonesia and Lion Air.

TransNusa is the first non-Chinese airline to operate the COMAC C909 (also known as the ARJ21) commercially, a distinction the carrier has leveraged as part of its growth strategy. As of July 2026, TransNusa operates five C909s with 25 more on order alongside Airbus A320s and A321s. The 90-seat C909's capacity suits the carrier's regional frequency model and has been used on domestic routes as well as short international services within Southeast Asia.

AeroRoutes also reported TransNusa launching twice-daily Manado–Makassar service from September 28, 2026, on the same filing, alongside a planned Denpasar–Melbourne international route from late October 2026, indicating a broader network push in the second half of the year.
