SEMARANG: Scheduled air services between Semarang and
Karimunjaya Island in the Java Sea will soon resume after they
were stopped last December.

Deraya Air Service (DAS), a private airline operator, has
agreed to fill the vacuum after it secured a subsidy from the
Central Java provincial government for the operation, the Antara
news agency reported.

The airline will serve the route with a 17-seater Casa 212
plane.

The resumption of scheduled flights will allow the island to
develop its tourism potential. It will also rescue the Rp 1.15
billion Dewadaru airport, which was inaugurated in 1991 and has
been neglected since December 1993. (emb)
