Qantas adds flights to Indonesia

JAKARTA: Australian flag carrier Qantas Airways is adding
additional flights from Jakarta to Sydney and Perth to encourage
more Indonesian tourists to visit the country during the holiday
season.

In a press statement, Qantas general manager for Indonesia
Stephen Farquer said the airline had increased its flights from
Jakarta to Sydney to six times a week from four, and to Perth to
four times a week from the usual two.

"Qantas has been flying between Indonesia and Australia for
almost 55 years and is the only airline to fly nonstop from
Jakarta to Australia," said Farquer.

More than 90,000 Indonesians travel to Australia for holiday
or business each year. Australia is also the first choice for
many Indonesians study and health care.

In addition to its flights between Jakarta, Quanta also flies
twice weekly from Denpasar to Darwin, and its wholly owned
Australian Airlines operates seven flights a week from Bali to
Sydney, Melbourne and Perth. -- JP
