The State Ministry for State Owned Enterprises said Friday that it would streamline the operation of state firms in the airline transport industry so as to creating greater efficiency in delivering services to the public.

Deputy state minister Said Didu told tempointeraktif.com that harmonization would include a streamlining of flight schedules so that each state firm would complement the services of another.

“We are aiming to create a synergy in the operation of the airlines so that in the end it could increase state revenue,” Said said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

Airlines that will take part in the harmonization are: PT Garuda Indonesia, PT Merpati Nusantara, PT Pelita Air Services, PT Dirgantara Indonesia, PT Garuda Maintenance Facility, PT Angkasa Pura I and PT Angkasa Pura

Said hinted that Merpati can serve as a feeder for Garuda’s overseas flights.

“So a passenger can just get one ticket for the travel,” he said. (and)
