Flight frequency three times a week and competitive prices will further increase the number of Russian tourists to Indonesia.
In addition, the existence of direct flights will certainly encourage the development of other business sectors, such as the potential export of Indonesian tropical fruits and other superior products to the Russian market. (*)
