YOGYAKARTA: National flag carrier Garuda Indonesia reopened Tuesday a route linking Singapore and Yogyakarta, a move that will help increase economic activities in the province, and that opens up the Indonesian city to further potential.
The route will be served by a Boeing 737-300 with a seating capacity of 100 and will have three flights a week, on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, according to Garuda.
