"This service will allow foreign tourists to visit popular destinations in NTT," said Marius.
In addition to the new route, the agency has also proposed the opening of a Kupang-Dili-Darwin service. "Besides from the west, air connectivity from the south [Australia] to NTT is also a potential market, since it connects three countries." (mra/kes)
