Garuda Indonesia plans to expand its service to India at the end of this year by opening a new route from Mumbai to Jakarta.

Garuda Indonesia’s vice president of corporate communications Benny S. Butarbutar told that the airline had received support from the Transportation Ministry and the new service would use Airbus 330 and Boeing 777 aircraft. “We are currently planning the route, and considering factors like is it going to be a direct flight or will there be a transit, will it be a daily service or several flights per week,” said Benny in Jakarta on Wednesday.

The potential of tourist arrivals from India to Indonesia was quite significant, said Benny. “This is a growing market that we should tap into in order to attract more visitors.”

Indian tourists visiting Indonesia in 2014 amounted to 223,607 people, an upsurge from the previous year’s figure of 201,009, according to the Central Statistics Agency.
