Jakarta, April 24, 2024 - PT Pertamina (Persero) persistently encourages its subsidiaries to enhance the company's value.

Vice President of Corporate Communication of PT Pertamina (Persero), Fadjar Djoko Santoso, stated that one of the strategies is to expand through corporate actions in line with societal needs and trends.

Pelita Air (flight code IP), a subsidiary of Pertamina, has opened a new flight route Jakarta-Kendari-Jakarta (direct) by conducting its inaugural flight from Terminal 3 of Soekarno-Hatta Jakarta Airport (CGK) to Halu Oleo Kendari Airport (KDI) on Wednesday, April 24, 2024.

This new flight route becomes the second new route opening this April, after Pelita Air previously opened the non-stop flight route Jakarta-Aceh-Jakarta on April 3, 2024, thereby increasing Pelita Air's total flight routes to 13 from the west to the east end of Indonesia.

The inaugural flight ceremony for this route was held at Halu Oleo Kendari Airport (KDI) on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, through a ribbon-cutting procession carried out by the Head of the Department of Culture and Tourism Belli Tombilli, Director of Commerce of PT Pelita Air Service Asa Perkasa, Representative of South Konawe Regency Mr. Maharayu, Head of UPBU Haluoleo Airport Mr. Sarmin, Commander of Haluoleo Air Base Colonel PNB Lilik Eko Susanto, and Manager of Haluoleo Pertamina Aviation Fuel Terminal Muhammad Hartato.

This time, Pelita Air is reopening a new direct flight route, the Jakarta-Kendari-Jakarta route. Kendari and Southeast Sulawesi are cities and provinces in Indonesia with considerable economic potential, ranging from mining, agriculture, and fisheries to tourism. It is hoped that with the opening of the Jakarta-Kendari route, Pelita Air can further enhance accessibility by providing additional flight options from Jakarta to Kendari," said Director of Commerce of PT Pelita Air Service, Asa Perkasa.
