Indonesia’s national flag carrier, the operator of the only non-stop flight between the island nation and the United Kingdom, will launch a daily service between Jakarta and the city of Sorong in West Papua from 10 March 2018.
The Jakarta-Sorong route will be serviced by a Boeing 737-800NG aircraft able to carry 162 passengers, with 12 business class seats and 150 economy.
