Lufthansa adds RI flight

JAKARTA (JP): German-based Lufthansa said on Monday it would
add an extra weekly flight to its Jakarta and Frankfurt route as
part of its winter timetable commencing Oct. 31, 1999, until
March 25, 2000.

Lufthansa general manager for Indonesia Carlos M. Heinemann
said the new flight would operate every Wednesday in addition to
the weekly Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday schedules,
making a total of five Lufthansa flights per week.

He said the additional flight reflected the airline's rising
confidence in Indonesia.

"We are positive in the economic future of Indonesia ... We
hope to contribute to the development of the country by bringing
more tourists here, hence the decision to increase the frequency
of flights," he said. (cst)
