Fare cuts for night flight

JAKARTA (JP): Mandala Airlines is offering fare discounts of 20 to 25 percent for passengers for its night flight services from Jakarta to Semarang.

"We hope the discount will encourage travellers to use our night flight service which at present performs rather poorly with 50-60 percent load factor," Mandala's manager in Semarang Susilo Soetjipto was quoted by the Antara as saying yesterday.

He added that travellers might not have known that the Semarang airport of A. Yani has been adequately equipped to handle night flights. (vin)
