JOHOR (MALAYSIA) - Athena Air Services, a fast-growing regional passenger carrier, began services yesterday from the Sultan Ismail Airport in Senai, Johor, to two destinations in Indonesia. The carrier, jointly operated by Athena (M) Sdn Bhd and PT Indonesian Airlines Avipatria, links Johor to holiday destination Surabaya and Indonesia's capital Jakarta.
The airline flies passengers to these routes three times a week – on Wednesday, Fridays and Sundays. Athena Air chief executive Jamaluddin Abdullah said the airline picked Johor to originate and terminate flights in Malaysia after studying the Senai airport's potential in attracting both local and international passengers. He added that there was a huge business potential to operate out of Senai and was confident of doubling the airline's flight capacity within six months.
The regional airline is the third to use Senai after Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia. “It has been our contention that Johor has been under-served in aviation services and we are making good progress in filling the gap,'' said Senai Airport Terminal Services Sdn Bhd director Datuk Mohd Sidik Shaik Osman. The long-term plan of the company is to build a new passenger terminal capable of handling an annual capacity of 15 million passengers.
