“The [decision to add another flight] was made during an internal meeting as we saw an increased demand of Indonesian tourists who want to visit Japan,” said the airline’s Jakarta office sales administrator Bradley Pardede.
Bradley explained that the airline’s occupancy for the Jakarta-Tokyo flight was considered good, especially during holiday seasons.
“In March or April, the occupancy could reach over 90 percent as it is a sakura season, which is a high season,” he added. (jes/kes)
