Garuda drops Paris-Bali

PARIS (Reuters): Indonesian flag carrier Garuda will drop its twice-weekly flights between Paris, Jakarta and Bali in late October, Garuda ticket agents in the French capital said on Tuesday.

The ticket agents could give no reason for the decision but the French financial daily Les Echos said the decision was due to the collapse of the rupiah currency.

From October 26, travelers in France wishing to fly Garuda to Jakarta will first have to make their way to Amsterdam or Frankfurt, the ticket agents said.
