Garuda Indonesia and China Southern Airlines (CSA) have agreed to
market 30 economy class seats on their respective aircraft
serving the Jakarta-Guangzhou route, a report said.

Garuda's commercial director, Bachrul Hakim, and CSA vice
president, Li Kun, signed an agreement on the initiative in
Denpasar, Bali, on Thursday, Antara reported.

The head of Garuda's communications service, Pujobroto, said
CSA served the route on Wednesdays and Saturdays, while Garuda
would resume its flights on Dec. 11.

CSA operates B-757s, which can carry 198 passengers, while
Garuda will operate DC-10s with 247 seats, consisting of 24
business class and 223 economy class seats.

Garuda closed its Jakarta-Guangzhou route at the end of 1997
due to the economic crisis.
