Sriwijaya Air this year expands its market share to eastern Indonesia by opening a direct flight from Surabaya to Jayapura in Papua. Sriwijaya Air commercial director Toto Nursatyo said that eastern regions of Indonesia have a huge potential even more so because the government has planned to step up development in the regions.

He added that Sriwijaya also pointed to a trend in Indonesia’s aviation industry which has grown 15 percent in the past few years, way above other countries with less than 5 percent growth. The airline plans to serve 4 flights a week in Surabaya-Jayapura route with a load factor target of 85 percent. The ticket for a flight will cost starting from Rp1.4 million.
