"Again we provided new access options to our customers, which of course we did as a form of commitment to serving flights at affordable costs and reaching destinations that were needed by the people of Pontianak, Makassar, Kualanamu, Semarang, Jakarta, and surrounding areas," Andy said in the statement, as quoted by Antara news agency.
Lion Air has also added new international routes, he added, with flights connecting Batam with Changsha in China. This month, flights from Batam to Changsha will operate on July 12, 19 and 26, with reverse routes flying on July 13, 20 and 27. (liz/kes)
