SilkAir adds new destination in Indonesia

Leading the celebration of SilkAir’s inaugural flight to Ujung Pandang was the airline’s CEO, Leslie Thng.

SilkAir continued to expand its offering in Indonesia last week with the launch of services from its Singapore (SIN) base to Ujung Pandang (UPG) on 1 August. The 1,900-kilometre route, which was last operated in March 2003, is offered with thrice-weekly frequencies using A320s. SilkAir faces competition on the route from Indonesia AirAsia, which operates a four-weekly schedule between the two airports.
