Lion Air has announced a new direct route between the cities of Jambi and Batam.
“We are going to open a new Jambi-Batam route considering the growing demand for direct flights between the two cities,” said Jambi-branch Lion Air manager, Mardanus, on Monday.
Batam is a transit route for Sumatra so Lion Air will accommodating passengers departing from Jambi to the city.
“We plan to use the Boeing 737 Next Generation with a capacity of 189 economy seats,” said Mardanus.
Currently, Lion Air in Jambi has only five Jambi-Jakarta flights per day. (ebf)
