Sumitomo's cargo to Jakarta

TOKYO (Nikkei): A Sumitomo Corp. subsidiary has begun arranging air cargo service to an Indonesian industrial center housing numerous Japanese manufacturers, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun today's morning edition reported.

The Corp promises delivery to receivers in Indonesia within about 30 hours, compared to the five days previously required.

Cargo collected by 1 p.m. is first transported to the Philippines on a Federal Express Corp flight the same evening. It's then transferred to the U.S. carrier's regional service to Indonesia, arriving the following morning.

Ground transport delivers the cargo to the East Jakarta Industrial Park, which is run by Sumitomo and houses NEC Corp., Toshiba Corp. and nearly 60 other companies.
