AM Air, a subsidiary of the country's third-largest carrier ,Sriwijaya Air, is set to connect Yogyakarta and Palembang, South Sumatra, on Aug. 20 to capture the growing demand for flights between the two cities.
NAM will be operating a Boeing B737-500 aircraft to serve the route with eight business class seats and 112 economy seats.
The carrier is scheduled to leave Adisucipto Airport in Yogyakarta at 10:35 a.m. every day and arrive at Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II in Palembang at 12:15 p.m. The aircraft would then return to Yogyakarta from Palembang at 2:35 p.m., arriving in Yogyakarta at 4:15 p.m.
'This is our commitment to integrate Sriwijaya Air and NAM Air flight services so that together we can enhance domestic route connectivity,' Sriwijaya Air senior corporate communications manager Agus Soedjono said in a statement made available to The Jakarta Post on Tuesday.
Agus said the airline was optimistic the load factor would be healthy and that the flight service would be an alternative for those who wished to travel between Yogyakarta and Palembang directly without having to transit in Jakarta. (nfo)
