"Indonesia is home to many breathtaking destinations and Pekanbaru is one of them. As the capital of Riau province and the economic center of the eastern part of Sumatra, the city will strengthen our network in Indonesia, either for businesspeople or travelers," Scoot CEO Lee Lik Hsin said in a statement as quoted by kompas.com.
The new route will give Indonesian travelers easier access to the airline's 61 destinations across the globe via Singapore, including Saudi Arabia, Australia, China, India, Greece, United States and Germany. (kes)
