Kendari, SE. Sulawesi, July 3 (Antara News) - Indonesian flag carrier, Garuda Indonesia, will serve a flight from Hasanuddin Makassar Airport, South Sulawesi to Sugimanuru Muna Airport, Southeast Sulawesi.
"If there is no obstacle, in the near future we will start Muna-Makassar flight," Garuda`s VP of Kalimantan, Sulawesi and Papua areas, I Wayan Supatrayasa, said after attending the Baubau-Kendari first flight landing here on Monday.
He said the market for Muna-Makassar flight is quite potential.
"There are three districts in Muna namely Muna Island, West Muna and Central Buton. This is one of our considerations to open the new route," Supatrayasa said, adding that the district administration is very supportive of the flight service by providing subsidies.
"The opening of the new route is opened based on the decision taken by the management and approved by the Director General of Civil Aviation related to the feasibility of the route," he said.
In addition, Supatrayasa said, Garuda considers flight market to eastern Indonesia is increasing over time.
"This route will certainly increase connectivity in eastern Indonesia, especially in Sulawesi," he said.
