Qantas, BA have new boss

JAKARTA (JP): Qantas and British Airways announced on Tuesday
the appointment of John Campbell as new general manager to
oversee the two airlines' joint operation in Indonesia.

The airlines said Campbell previously served as general
manager for Qantas' operations in Switzerland and East Europe.

Campbell said in a statement he aimed to expand the two
airlines' businesses in Indonesia and help promote the country's
tourism sector by bringing visitors here.

Qantas currently flies direct from Jakarta to Sydney five
times a week with connections to Melbourne, Brisbane and
Adelaide. It also flies twice a week from Jakarta to Perth.

British Airways suspended its flights serving Jakarta in
November last year due to worsening passenger demand. (cst)
