ow-cost carrier Lion Air announced on Monday the reopening of three domestic routes from Husein Sastranegara International Airport in Bandung, West Java.
According to a statement, the Bandung-Palembang, Bandung-Pekanbaru and Bandung-Banjarmasin routes will be available six times a day using Boeing 737-800NG aircraft that can accommodate 189 economy class passengers and offers free inflight entertainment through WiFi connection.
Tempo.co reported that the services were previously operated from Kertajati International Airport in West Java.
