United Airlines agent

JAKARTA (JP): United Airlines of the United States has
appointed PT Cahaya Molek Angkasa Cemerlang as the carrier's
general sales agent in Indonesia replacing PT Samudera Indonesia
Dirgantara.

The airline said here yesterday the appointment was necessary
to anticipate the increasing number of passengers and cargo to
the U.S.

United Airlines would also open a marketing arm in Jakarta,
the company said.

United Airlines and U.S. air carrier, Northwest Airlines, last
year had to twice delay services to Indonesia due to an unsettled
aviation dispute between Japan and the U.S.

United Airlines had planned to link San Francisco and Jakarta
via Osaka, while Northwest had planned a Seattle-Osaka-Jakarta
route last year. The two air carriers had to delay the services
until Japan and U.S. settled their dispute. (icn)
