Emirates increases flights from Jakarta

JAKARTA: Emirates, the Dubai-based international airline, announced on Tuesday that it will increase flights from Jakarta from four days a week to daily starting this month.

The airline will also use the largest aircraft in its fleet -- Boeing 777-300s -- on three of its daily flights to provide local cargo partners with delivery time and space availability advantages, the statement said.

"Switching to larger planes flying on a daily schedule is our client-based initiative to help improve performance and meet growing demand from those industries, John Rotikan, Emirates Country Manager Indonesia said.

With these features, local cargo partners can enjoy the benefit of being connected to 58 destinations in 41 countries within the Emirates network on a daily basis.

Emirates Indonesian SkyCargo has been operating since 1992 and has a capacity of between 13 tons and 15 tones per flight. --JP
