Super Air Jet Open Jakarta Flight Route

The airline Super Air Jet opens flights with the Jakarta route (CGK – Singkawang (SKJ) and Singkawang – Jakarta (CGK). This is certainly good news for residents in Jakarta who want to travel to Singkawang City.

This news should also be welcomed by the people of Singkawang, Sambas and Bengkayang in West Kalimantan who want to travel to Jakarta. Because the Jakarta-Singkawang flight route and vice versa will make the time and distance of the two cities.

During this time, to arrive in the city of Singkawang, the aircraft user must go down at the Supadio Airport in Pontianak (PNK). Then you have to use a mode of public transportation of cars, buses or travel from Pontianak to Singkawang City. And it takes up to 4 hours.

I experienced that experience when I went to Singkawang City, a long journey to Pangmilang. Yes, Pangmilang is a village in South Singkawang District where Singkawang Airport is located.

At that time, there was no airline that opened the flight route to Singkawang. Even then, Singkawang Airport has not been inaugurated. Opening of the flight route Jakarta – Singkawang or Singkawang – Jakarta is the awaited momentum.

The above is the flight schedule for the Super Air Jet Jakarta – Singkawang route (Source: Secure.superairjet.com). For the accuracy of flight schedules, both for crosscheck first.

Singkawang Airport has the potential to develop

Singkawang Airport has great potential to develop. The reason is that people in 3 (three) regions, each Singkawang City, Bengkayang Regency and Sambas Regency have the opportunity to support flight opportunities.

The distance between Singkawang Airport to Singkawang City is only about 16 km or 25 minutes. The distance between Sambas Regency and Singkawang Airport is about 2 hours or 93 kilometers. Semnetara distance from the center of Bengkayang Regency to Singkawang Airport around 3 hours drive or 135 km.

The distance and travel time will certainly decrease than to Supadio Airport in Pontianak. Also more effective for urgent trips.

In the future, Singkawang Airport will be more likely to develop. Mainly, along with the development of the needs of the community for faster aircraft public transportation.

Especially later if the flight route is open to the inter-bandara paths on the island of Borneo. Call it some of them such as Supadio Airport (Pontianak), Iskandar Airport (Pangkalan Bun), Tjilik Riwut Airport (Palangkaraya), Syamsuddin Noor Airport Banjarmasin. Also Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport (Sepinggan, Samarinda).

Kalimantan Island itself is an island with the existence of a lot of airports. Not only between provinces, but also between cities in one province. However, not all of them operate flights. Some of them operate flights with limited commercial petiintintized aircraft.
