Timika (Antara Bali) - International mining company PT Freeport
Indonesia, which is operating in Papua province, has started a special
flight for employees and their families from seven tribes, who want to
take vacations in their villages in the hinterlands.
Freeport management representative William Rising, said here on
Friday (24/6) that the flight will help employees, especially those from
the seven tribes, and facilitate their taking holidays in their
villages.
Currently, there are 4,242 Papuan employees, including those from
the seven tribes (Amungme, Kamoro, Damal, Dani, Nduga, Mee and Moni)
working in Timika. This number constitutes 39 percent of the total
employees of PT Freeport Indonesia.
"This flight program is expected to help the employees, who are taking holidays by using regular flights," Rising said.
During this time, the employees who are spending vacations in their
villages in the hinterlands should fly via Jayapura. This is because
there is no special flight from Timika to their villages.
In the initial phase, the special flights for Freeports Papuan
employees have been started for seven regions, namely Ilaga, Beoga,
Wamena, Enarotali, Wagete, Moanemani and Sugapa.
PT Freeport deploys three aircrafts leased from Jhon Lin Air, MAF (Mission Aviation Fellowship) and Airfast once a week. (WDY)
