Dubai-based Emirates airline will increase its existing operation from Dubai to Jakarta from 11 services weekly to a double-daily service, effective 01 March. The three additional flights will be operated on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, using B777 aircraft in a two-class configuration. The expansion will introduce over 2600 seats per week.
The growth in services follows the recent launch of an additional flight in December 2009, underscoring the increased economic and cultural ties between the UAE and Indonesia.
Indonesian exports of textiles, leather products, fruit, fish, medical and computer equipment will benefit from the increased access to global markets. Likewise, imports of chemicals, cosmetics, machine parts and foodstuffs will receive a boost as cargo-carrying capacity rises by 27 per cent to 233 tonnes per week per direction.
