MATARAM, W. Nusa Tenggara: Tourists from Australia visiting Lombok, in West Nusa Tenggara, will soon be able to fly directly from Perth on OZJet 737-300, an executive said Friday.

The flight, with a 100 passenger capacity, will operate weekly and comes as part of a AUS$799 holiday package, which includes seven days' accommodation.

The route, set to open next December, was officially announced by Indojet Asia in Australia yesterday.

"As of now, at least 270 people have enquired about the new route. Nine of them have already booked. I am sure that at least 30 percent of the available seats will be sold out," Indojet Asia's managing director Pathmanathan Johnson said.

Flying time between Perth and Selaparang airports will be 3.5 hours.

Johnson added that his office had coordinated with West Nusa Tenggara members of the Association of Indonesian Tourism and Travel Agencies (ASITA) as well as Lombok-Sumbawa's Promotion Agency to arrange the service. --JP
