Indonesia: Charter airline Pelita Air may take over Garuda


JAKARTA, Oct 24 (Jakarta Post/ANN): The government is preparing a plan for state-owned charter airline PT Pelita Air Service to take over Garuda Indonesia’s domestic routes as courts pass decisions, both favourable and unfavourable, over the financially-ailing national air carrier.

The plan entails turning Pelita Air into a full-service airline in helping meet domestic flight demand once the government lifts travel restrictions, according to State-Owned Enterprises (SOE) Deputy Minister Kartiko Wirjoatmodjo as reported by bisnis.com.
