TNT maintains RI operation

JAKARTA (JP): Dutch-owned courier service TNT Express
Worldwide maintained its operations in Indonesia despite the
recent political turmoil, the company said yesterday.

The company said in a statement that it used a Boeing 727
aircraft to carry packages in and out Jakarta every day during
the turmoil.

It said the huge volume of packages carried during the period
of unrest demonstrated that the events had done little to affect
the country's import and export activities.

"For instance, last Monday we delivered over 1,000 imported
shipments and collected over 600 shipments for export," TNT
Express Worldwide Indonesia senior technical advisor Garry
Kirkman said.

TNT first began to operate in Indonesia in 1979. It now has 16
branches throughout the country. (jsk)
