Jambi seeks cargo flights to Singapore

JAMBI City, Jambi: The Jambi provincial administration is exploring the possibility of opening a cargo flight route between the Kerinci district and Singapore to help accelerate economic growth, says governor Zulkifli Nurdin.

"The Kerinci regency has many commodities for export but these cannot be developed because of the absence of air transportation connecting the regency with Singapore or Malaysia. That is why we are studying ways to realize it," he said here on Monday.

Kerinci has agricultural and fishery products besides beautiful natural surroundings that could be developed for the tourism industry.

"Kerinci which faces the Riau archipelago and Singapore has vegetables, fruits and fish for export," he said. --Antara
