Garuda to increase Aceh flights

BANDA ACEH, Aceh: State-owned PT Garuda Indonesia plans to
increase flights into Aceh due to rising demand ahead of first
year anniversary of the tsunami disaster on Dec. 26.

The plan is being drawn up after the company received information
that many foreign guests, families and relatives of tsunami
victims and journalists would visit the province to commemorate
the disaster.

The company is currently coordinating with the Aceh
Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Body (BRR) to obtain the exact
number of guests planning to visit the province, said Sukamdo,
the general manager of Garuda's Banda Aceh operations. -- Antara
