Ansett adds flights

JAKARTA (JP): Ansett Australia will operate an additional
flight every Thursday using a Boeing 747-300 aircraft from
Jakarta to Sydney, bringing its total service between the two
cities to seven flights a week, the airline announced yesterday.

Ansett's international general manager, Craig Wallace, said in
a statement that the additional Jakarta-Sydney flight, which
started today, would enable travelers between the two cities to
use the airline's service on any day of the week.

The announcement came a month after the Ansett celebrated the
first year of operations to and from Jakarta.

Ansett has been running services to Australia from Denpasar in
Bali since 1993 and at present has 10 scheduled flights a week to
Bali from Australia.

In Jakarta last month the airline, in conjunction with Tourism
New South Wales, launched "Sydney Surprise Package" which was
targeted at independent Indonesian travelers.

The 60-year airline company at present operates around 90 jet
aircraft to serve international networks, including Denpasar,
Osaka, Hong Kong, Taipei, Auckland, Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and
Seoul. (10)
