Pontianak, West Kalimantan (ANTARA News) - Garuda Indonesia will fly from Jakarta to Pontianak three times a day to cater to rising demand for air services.
"The load factor of the route has reached an average of 85 percent since we resumed it late October 2007," Garuda district manager Wempie Ohoiwutun said on Sunday.
The national flag carrier now serves the route once per day.
He said Garuda had filed an application to the operator of Supadio Airport in Pontianak for an increase in the number of its flights from Jakarta to Pontianak or vice versa.
West Kalimantan had large potentials for air transport business, he said. "Many big businessmen in Jakarta and other major cities in Indonesia come from West Kalimantan," he said.
He expressed optimism Garuda would be able to compete with other airlines which offered low-cost flights.
