Bernard said, "Raja Ampat in Sorong is Indonesia best kept secret.
According to the National Geography Channel, Raja Ampat is the
epicentre of marine biodiversity in the planet and is the world's
stronghold of healthy coral reefs. As such, it was only natural for
TransNusa to introduce a direct flight from Manado to Sorong, in an
effort to encourage and increase domestic and foreign tourism
within the two destinations."

Bernard, adding that TransNusa will have daily scheduled flights to
Ambon from not on Manado but also Sorong.

Eduard Osok Airport at 09.00am and arrive at the Pattimura

round-trip flight will begin on Thursday, April 18.
Meanwhile, on the Timika route, Datuk Bernard said, "Timika, where
the 7th highest mountain in the world is located, is not only a
tourist destination but also home to many who work at the Timika
Gold mine. The dual demand for flight to Timika makes it a high
potential but underserved market."
TransNusa's flight from Sorong to Timika will depart Sorong from
Domine Eduard Osok Airport at 12.10pm and arrive at the Mozes
Kilangin Internatioal Airport at 13.30pm. The TransNusa flight will

strategies as well as introducing new routes aggressively. The

second airline to introduce flight to China from Jakarta last year.
