Kal Star Indonesia to offer CGK - PNK - KCH Flight

[Mike P 0]

KUCHING: Kal Star Aviation mengumumkan plan penerbangan terbaru menerusi laluan Jakarta-Pontianak-Kuching bagi memenuhi permintaan tinggi ke destinasi ini.

Naib Presiden dan Peng-arahnya Aditya Wardana berkata, keputusan telah dibuat berikutan permintaan yang tinggi ke laluan ini setelah Air Asia menamatkan penerbangan Kuching-Jakarta.

“Penerbangan pertama untuk laluan ini pada 9 Mei dari Jakarta dan akan singgah di Pontianak sebelum ke Kuching,” katanya semasa sidang media di Pejabat Konsulat Indonesia di sini semalam.

Beliau percaya penerbangan itu akan menerima pasaran yang tinggi daripada Indonesia dan Sarawak.

Menurutnya, penerbangan kos rendah itu merancang untuk melakukan penerbangan sehari sekali untuk laluan ini.

Jelasnya, penerbangan itu nanti akan membuat persinggahan di Pontianak selama 45 minit.

“Anggaran harga tiket penerbangan dari Kuching-Pontianak antara RM200 hingga RM250 manakala Kuching-Jakarta pula tidak melebihi RM500,” ujarnya.

Aditya turut menegaskan bahawa Kal Star Aviation pada masa ini memberi khidmat penerbangan ke 62 laluan domestik dan lima laluan wilayah Indonesia sejak November 2007.

Pontianak is a stopover place, supposedly based in Jakarta. But I supposed ATR if they are offering daily flight. Wait till the load to be more positive then switch to bigger to aircraft.

The new player in the KCH-PNK route has arrived. With MASwings planned entry in July 2011, soon we will see a 3 way fighting in this 130 miles sector. As a former frequent flyer on this route, I am extremely happy with the development.

KUALA LUMPUR: Kuching International Airport (KIA) will offer connectivity to Jakarta through Kal Star Aviation, which made its maiden flight to KIA on Monday.

 

Utilising their newly furnished Boeing 737-300, with the capacity to carry 148 passengers, the airline has commenced daily flights for the Jakarta-Pontianak-Kuching route, a statement from Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd (MAHB) said.

 

Managing director of MAHB, Tan Sri Bashir Ahmad, said the service from Jakarta with a stopover at Pontianak, would benefit passengers from Sarawak in terms of choices.

 

“Malaysia Airports is actively collaborating with the government to ensure that we maximise the effectiveness of our marketing investment to attract new airlines and establish new routes,” he said.

 

This operation takes the total number of airlines operating at KIA to nine currently including Malaysia Airlines. — Bernama
