BALI UPDATE #090 - 05 NOVEMBER 1998
"CODE SHARING" - ONE
SOLUTION
The debate in the nation's capital, Jakarta, drags
on regarding how best to protect the traffic rights of Garuda from the
onslaught of more efficient foreign carriers who might be persuaded to
promote Indonesia and bring the additional tourists so desperately needed
to bolster tourism's sagging fortunes. Despite efforts by some to paint
a different picture, it is not a matter of bi-lateral negotiations negotiated
to make sure the National carrier's interest are not discounted: the simple
fact is that Garuda is not applying for additional international traffics
rights and is currently more concerned with reducing routes, staff, and
armada than in opening up new markets.
Bureaucrats strut and pose, proclaiming to "protect"
national interests for a badly weakened national carrier which is , momentarily
at least, unable to be a player in the international aviation game. Against
this backdrop of playing tough, a national tourism industry is on its
knees fighting a losing battle to remain solvent and keep their staffs
employed.
Meanwhile, the President has proclaimed "open skies"
only to have his comments amended by the relevant ministry which indicates
only charter operators are welcome under the President's "open skies"
policy.
And the band played on . . .
One solution, relatively unexplored, would be to
encourage regional carriers, such as Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines
and Thai to show "through codes" from major markets in Europe and the
U.S. to Bali. This has been proven step to stimulate traffic as passengers
are then able tp book single flight numbers from their home countries
to their ultimate destination - even when they, in fact, may change aircraft
at intermediate hub cities. Without the purchase of a single aircraft
or the addition of a single flight, the consumer and the travel trade's
perception immediately becomes that there are more "direct" flights to
places like Bali and the bookings usually follow in turn.
Almost all that's needed is the agreement of the
airlines involved to use shared or "through" codes which is not a problem
as the airlines readily recognize the benefits of booking long-haul traffic.
Please note that I did say "almost" all that's needed.
What's also needed is the agreement of the destination country civil aviation
authority, in this case the Indonesian DCA, to permit the use of these
"through" codes which have a proven ability to increase inbound traffic.
SPECIAL FARES ON SIA
FROM THE USA
SIA does it again! In our neighbours efforts to support
Bali tourism, SQ has launched television advertisements in selected U.S.
markets and in the Wall Street Journal offering air fares to Bali from
the United States at $US 868 and $US 928, respectively.
Just think what SIA could do with "through" codes.
OAD REIZEN RETURNS TO
BALI
This morning, Thursday, 05 November, OAD Reizen of
Holland returned to Bali with their weekly charter from Amsterdam to Bali
with Martinair.
In a special welcoming ceremony provided by BALI
PROMO and attended by representatives of the Bali Tourism Community, some
272 passengers and 10 crew were welcomed with floral garlands and a traditional
performance of a "baleganjur" orchestra.
OAD reizen suspended its popular weekly charters
to Bali last May in the midst of the social upheaval occurring in other
parts of Indonesia. Despite such setbacks, Dutch arrivals to Bali continue
to be strong with more total visitors from that market in the first 9
months of 1998 already exceeding the total for the entire year of 1997.
