SINGAPORE PRESS-Asean gets green light for unlimited Jakarta flights-Straits Times

Reuters

Indonesia has signed a deal to allow Asean airlines to make unlimited flights to Jakarta, The Straits Times has learnt - a move which could lead to cheaper fares and more flight options for travellers flying within the region.

The move follows a campaign which started about a decade ago to get the 10 Asean nations to remove all restrictions on flights from their countries and push to become one aviation market - similar to the European Union's "single sky".

Indonesia had been reluctant to sign up to the agreement but now that its capital is on board, aviation experts are confident that other Indonesian cities will follow suit.
