JAKARTA - The airline Pelita Air Service plans to increase the frequency of flights on the Jakarta-Bali (PP) route along with the addition of a new fleet of aircraft.
The additional flight frequency will take effect from 9 September.
Previously, Pelita Air was scheduled to fly 3 times a week using an Airbus A320-200 with a capacity of 180 economy seats.
With the addition of the flight frequency, there will be a total of 5 flights a week.
President Director of PT Pelita Air Service Dendy Kurniawan said the additional flight frequency was carried out to support the fulfillment of domestic needs in line with the increasing demand for air travel. Especially from Jakarta to Bali.
"With the addition of flying frequency, now people have more choices of flying hours with Pelita Air," said Dendy in his statement, Monday, August 15.
The addition of Pelita Air frequency, said Dendy, will be carried out in stages on routes that have the potential to contribute to the company.
Performance optimization can be seen from the addition of flight frequencies, not only Jakarta-Bali Round Trip, Jakata-Yogyakarta Round Trip.
However, it will also expand to other routes such as Surabaya and Balikpapan until the end of 2022.
For your information, PT Pelita Air Service has added another Airbus A320 aircraft.
This fleet will be used by the state-owned airline to increase flight frequency.
The Airbus A320 with registration number PK-PWD arrived at Soekarno-Hatta Airport since August 6, 2022.
Dendy said that the arrival of Pelita Air's third aircraft this time was concrete evidence of the company's continued development of its scheduled or regular flight service business.
