JAKARTA -- Whitesky Aviation sees a business opportunity in Jakarta's worsening traffic congestion, and the charter flight company is offering a heavily subsidized holiday promotion rate of only 14 million rupiah ($1,051) for a 40-minute helicopter ride from the Indonesian capital to Bandung -- less than half price.
"It's selling well -- we are fully booked for some days ahead of Idul Fitri," Chief Executive Denon Prawiraatmadja told the Nikkei Asian Review last week.
