Indonesia and Indian businessmen are planning to create a new airline company to be called PT Pacific Royale.
The idea for the airline was born thanks to the renewal of an air service agreement between the two countries. Air transportation director-general Herry Bhakti said that Samudra Sukardi had been named as the new project manager for the airline. Samudra, who may be the candidate for the company’s president director, was previously the candidate for the CEO position at PT Garuda Indonesia.
Pacific Royale is currently lodging its flight permits in India and Indonesia and has not yet made a company presentation at the Indonesian Transportation Ministry.
PT Garuda Indonesia plans to start flying to India and is reported to be in the process of arranging permits.
