Beijing (Antara Bali) - National airline company Garuda Indonesia has been exploring possibilities of Papua-China flights to support the Master Plan for Acceleration and Expansion of Economic Development (MP3EI).
General Manager of Garuda Timika Office Nano Setiawan said in Beijing Wednesday that besides the MP3EI plan for the Papua-China flights, there is also a plan to accelerate the development of Papua and West Papua as the East is an important hub.
"Garuda will facilitate the traffic movements between the two countries in the development of the economy and tourism," Nano said.
Garuda Timika and Biak offices and several travel agents are making trips to Beijing and Guangzhou.
With regard to Garuda's strategy for increasing the comfort of Chinese tourists to Papua in the long trip, Nano said the long hauls to Papua will be combined with other destinations, such as the package from Jakarta, Jogya, Denpasar and then Papua.(IGT)
