Sutra Airlines resumes operations

MEDAN, North Sumatra: The North Sumatra provincial
administration said on Thursday that provincial airline, Sutra
Airlines, would resume operations next year.

North Sumatra governor T. Rizal Nurdin said on Thursday that
Sutra Airlines would resume operation with or without its
Malaysian partner PT Rabin Global Air Servindo.

Sutra Airlines ceased operations after the Malaysian company
stopped leasing its 40-seat Fokker-27 plane to Sutra.

Rizal said it would give the Malaysians the first chance to
resolve the leasing problem with the North Sumatra
administration.

"We pledge to continue the operation of Sutra Airlines to open
access to the west coast of the province," he said. --JP
