Japanese Airline to Reduce Flights to Indonesia Following Terrorist Attacks 


East Asia / Pacific - Indonesia, Japan 
20 Oct 2005 - Associated Press 

Japan's biggest airline announced Thursday it would temporarily decrease
flights between Japan and Indonesia due to a slump in passenger demand
following the Oct. 1 terrorist bombings in Bali, which killed 23 people and
injured more than 100.

Japan Airlines said it would replace separate flights from Tokyo to Jakarta
and Denpasar with a single flight that would fly to Denpasar via the
Indonesian capital.

The airline will also reduce its service between Osaka in western Japan and
Denpasar from seven to three flights a week.

The cutback in flights to Indonesia follows a significant decrease in
passenger demand from Japan due to the terrorist bombings, JAL said. Bali
has long been a popular tourist destination for Japanese.

Geoffrey Tudor, spokesman for the airline, said passenger reservations were
down by some 40 percent for the three months between October and December.
The reductions are scheduled to take effect Oct. 30-Dec. 22. JAL hoped that
passenger demand would pick up by the end of that period, Tudor said.
Two Australians and one Japanese were among those killed in the
near-simultaneous bombings at three crowded restaurants in Bali. The attacks
came three years after 202 people, mostly foreigners, were killed in
nightclub bombings on the island.

JAL's decision comes amid fears about the attack's impact on the island's
tourism industry.

Tourism makes up around 5 percent of Indonesia's gross domestic product, and
most of the foreign tourism dollars are spent on Bali and neighboring Lombok
island.
