Merpati reopens routes

JAKARTA (JP): Merpati Nusantara Airline announced on Tuesday it would reopen its routes linking Jakarta to Medan, North Sumatera, and to Pakanbaru, Riau, starting Wednesday.

The company said the reopening of the routes was in anticipation of a growing number of passengers with the early signs of economic recovery.
