Indonesian Airlines starts operation

JAKARTA: The recently launched PT Indonesian Airlines said its
first flights would cover the Jakarta-Surabaya route six days a
week, starting on Monday.

Indonesian Airlines said it would fly the route using two
Boeing 737-300s, which it obtained from the German airline
Lufthansa.

Launched about a week ago, the airline said it was targeting a
20 percent market share of the Jakarta-Surabaya route. It gave no
details of when it hoped to achieve this target.

"Indonesian Airlines is eying business travelers," the airline
said in a statement on Saturday.

To this end, it said, punctual arrivals and departures and
reliable service were paramount to its operation.

As part of this strategy, Indonesian Airlines said passengers
in all classes would be seated in leather seats. --JP
