Yahukimo-Makassar Flight Routes Facilitate Citizens' Access

The Regent of Yahukimo Abock Busup wants direct flights from his area to Makassar to make it easier for citizens who want to travel to Jakarta and other areas of the island of Java.
.
Yahukimo District Transportation Agency (Kadishub) Head of Papua Province, Jhon Ronsumbre when confirmed from Jayapura on Wednesday, said that the Regent of Yahukimo, Abock Busup hoped that there would be flights with the route from Makassar-Timika-Dekai Yahukimo-Jayapura, and vice versa flights from Jayapura-Dekai Yahukimo-Timika-Makassar.
.
"We hope there will be airlines in this case, Batik Air and Lion Air airlines. If possible, we will also try to talk to Asia Air airlines who have the opportunity to enter Yahukimo, even if they are in transit," he said.
.
According to him, the Regent of Abock wanted smooth transportation to and from Yahukimo because there were many passengers from Yahukimo whose destination was to leave for Makassar and Jakarta and other Javanese islands.
.
He admitted, the flow of passengers along 2019 from and to Yahukimo to Jayapura then continued flights to Makassar and Jakarta and other Javanese regions quite a lot. Previously, he said, there were flight subsidies from the Yahukimo Regency Government, so residents could lobby and negotiate with the airlines, but now there is no subsidy.
.
"Now there are no subsidies, now the people's online system is free of ticket boking and that is what the Yahukimo Regency Government wants because its citizens can compete healthily with residents in other regions," he said.
.
John added, now the access of Yahukimo residents to order airplane tickets has been done online. The internet network at Yahukimo is good enough.
