Garuda links Surabaya, HK

JAKARTA (JP): The country's flag carrier Garuda has increased its service linking Surabaya in East Java with Singapore and Hong Kong, by operating Airbus 300-600 aircraft once a week.

Garuda considers the new route, opened since last Tuesday, to be a promising line as trading between Surabaya and Hong Kong continues to grow steadily.

Hong Kong is the fifth overseas city served by Garuda from Surabaya after Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and the Australian cities of Perth and Townsville.

Last month, Garuda also increased its flight services between Jakarta and Los Angeles, the United States, by adding one more flight to its previous four weekly flights.(icn)
