Northwest to serve Jakarta

JAKARTA (JP): Northwest Airlines plans to start operating a
service between Jakarta and Seattle in the United States in July,
to become the only U.S. carrier serving the route.

The company said in a statement over the weekend that the
proposed service, which is still subject to final government
approval, will operate three times weekly -- on Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays.

The flights will be made via Osaka in Japan, and Los Angeles,
Honolulu and Detroit -- all in the United States.

The Minneapolis-based Northwest, which claims to be the
fourth-largest airline in the world, operates a route system that
spans more than 390 destinations around the world. (rid)
