Merpati increases flights

JAKARTA (JP): State-owned air carrier Merpati Nusantara
Airlines will increase its Jakarta-Pontianak flight from once to
twice a week.

Merpati's general manager of corporate affairs Imam Turidy
said on Wednesday the airline has increased the flight frequency
to meet rising passenger demand.

He said the increase was also to anticipate the expected rise
in passenger demand at the end of the year.

The new schedule will be effective from Oct. 25, but tickets
for the new service are already reservable at Merpati agents.
