As the travel industry recovers, NusaTrip continues working within the larger digital ecosystem of Society Pass[1] to offer richer travel products and services for our consumers and partners across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
NusaTrip aims to improve the efficiency of emergency travel or medical evacuation for patients in need and to support the home care or onsite health care services offered by many doctors, hospitals, and clinics.

The Founder and CEO of Periksa.id, Sutan Imam Abu Hanifah explains, “Our new collaborative feature will help doctors and medical staff to easily check the airline’s schedule and seat availability for various arrangements, from purchasing tickets for patients in care who are in need of emergency travel or medical evacuation, assisting doctors on business trips such as regular meetings and attending conferences, to helping medical staffs in finding good deals for their short break or recharge.”
He adds that through the collaboration, Periksa. id users can now use and exchange their loyalty points for travel-related products and services on NusaTrip, and the company has received positive feedback since its launch.
