Ringkasan " Citilink to add more flights during Idul Fitri The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Business | Sat, May 24 2014, 12:23 PM"

Citilink president director Arif Wibowo said the carrier would focus on increasing the amount of flights on three of their routes from Halim, and would also be adding two new flight routes, mostly in the 10 days before and after Idul Fitri, which is estimated to fall on July 28 this year.

The number of flights that will be increased from Halim fly to Yogyakarta, Semarang (Central Java) and Palembang (South Sumatra). The carrier will also add two new flight routes to Medan (North Sumatra) and Denpasar (Bali) from Jakarta’s secondary airport.

Arif anticipates an additional 30,000 passengers from as soon as July 18, who are mostly participating in the annual mass exodus of Jakartans to their hometowns across the archipelago during the Idul Fitri season.

Aside from the increased flights, Arif added that four leased Airbus A320s would be added to the carrier’s armada between June and August.

Citilink is expecting a total of eight additional Airbus A320s this year, and is targeting 8.2 million passengers on 11,000 to 12,000 flights by the end of 2014.

As an additional marketing effort, Citilink partnered with giant retailer Carrefour Indonesia to open ticket sales counters, where customers could purchase Citilink tickets at Carrefour stores.

The inaugural sales counter was opened at Carrefour Lebak Bulus, South Jakarta on Friday.

Other plans that the low-cost carrier has include opening and developing new domestic routes from Jakarta to Palu (Central Sulawesi) and Manado (North Sulawesi) in the second half of the year.

Arif also said the carrier might open regional routes in the fourth quarter of the year.

Possible regional routes include Singapore and Johor Bahru in Malaysia, with the possibility of an Australian city as well.

Citilink flies 138 flights per day to 24 cities nationwide. When the company operated as its own business entity in 2012, it only operated 56 flights per day. (dyl)

Ringkasan " ICBC Indonesia issues UnionPay credit cards The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Business | Thu, May 22 2014, 11:11 AM"

Private lender PT Bank ICBC Indonesia has issued a new credit card in collaboration with China’s bank card organization UnionPay, targeting Indonesians who often travel to the world’s second-largest economy.

The number of Indonesians traveling to China is estimated to reach 600,000 every year.

UnionPay cards can reportedly be used in more than 140 countries across the globe and are second to Visa in term of the value of transaction.

ICBC Indonesia is a relative newcomer to credit card products, launching its credit card program only in 2011 — four years after its presence in the country began in 2007.

ICBC Indonesia had since 2011 issued around 10,000 cards to its 5,000 customers in the country.

The Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (ICBC), which has a 97.83 percent share in ICBC Indonesia, has issued a total of 580 million cards worldwide, with 88 million being credit cards at the end of 2013.

In addition, Yensen said around 25 to 30 percent of credit card transactions by ICBC Indonesia customers were made overseas. Roughly, around 80 to 90 percent of the transactions were retail.

According to him, one of the advantages of the UnionPay card was that it was more widely accepted by merchants in China.

According to an unaudited report submitted to Bank Indonesia, ICBC Indonesia’s total outstanding loans reached Rp 20.81 trillion as of March 2014.

ICBC Indonesia’s outstanding loans in the credit card segment are still below 10 percent. (dyl)

Ringkasan " 11-hour KPK search at Religious Affairs Ministry The Jakarta Post, Jakarta | Business | Fri, May 23 2014, 2:10 PM "

The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) conducted a raid on the office of the Religious Affairs Ministry, resulting in a search that lasted more than 11 hours, in an effort to find new evidence in relation to the naming of Religious Affairs Minister Suryadharma Ali as a suspect in an alleged corruption case surrounding the 2012-2013 haj program.
“We want to thoroughly probe various important pieces of information in order to explore the case completely,” KPK deputy chairman Bambang Widjojanto said as quoted by kompas.com on Friday.
KPK investigators began the raid on Thursday night in several rooms on the fifth level of the ministry’s office on Jl. Lapangan Banten, Central Jakarta, including a room used by Anggito Abimanyu, the ministry’s director general for the haj and umrah (minor haj). The raid was said to be still ongoing as of Friday morning.
KPK investigators also searched rooms used by Suryadharma and Nur Syam, who is the ministry’s secretary-general, as well as Burhanudin, chief of the ministry’s general affairs bureau.
Suryadharma and three other ministry officials remained onsite while the KPK conducted its search, during which several plastic bags full of documents were confiscated.
KPK deputy chairman Busyro Muqoddas said that Suryadharma was not the only official implicated in the graft case, which has been under investigation for the past three months.
In February, the KPK said its investigation was focused on three areas: the procurement of goods and services in the haj pilgrimage program in 2012-2013; the management of haj funds in 2012-2013; and the provision of haj facilities to individuals who were not entitled to them.

"Perusahaan Habibie mau produksi 400 pesawat turbo pada 2016 "

Merdeka.com - Perusahaan manufaktur pesawat milik BJ Habibie, PT Regio Aviasi Industri (RAI) berencana untuk memproduksi 400  pesawat turbo propeller pada 2016. Pesawat bernama R-80 tersebut bakal memiliki mesin pendorong berkekuatan lima ribu tenaga kuda (horse power).

"Dia (R-80) sudah kami konsep memiliki tenaga turbo yang didukung kekuatan baling-baling di kedua sayapnya," terang Presiden Direktur PT RAI Agung Nugroho dalam diskusi Ikatan Alumni Program Habibie (IABIE) di Gedung Joang '45, Jakarta, Sabtu (24/5).
Agung menjelaskan, produksi R-80 bertujuan untuk mengembalikan masa kejayaan industri dirgantara nasional. Untuk itu RAI akan menggandeng PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI), lima puluh ilmuwan di struktur pekerjaan inti, dan kementerian terkait guna merealisasikan mimpi tersebut.

"Kami terdorong membuat pesawat yang lebih canggih karena melihat keprihatinan selama 17 tahun terahir industri dirgantara domestik tidak pernah mengalami pertumbuhan yang bagus. Padahal negara-negara lainnya sedang meningkat," katanya.
Saat ini, RAI masih memersiapkan rancang bangun dan mesin pesawat. Nantinya, R-80 akan memiliki kapasitas 80-90 kursi.

"Itu sudah termasuk menyusun sertifikasinya juga. Jadi ketika memasuki tahun 2016 pesawat R-80 benar-benar siap terbang," jelasnya.

"Kami ingin PT DI bisa membuat semua pesawat komersial. Karena kami ingin membidik market share kalangan masyarakat kelas menengah di Indonesia, Eropa, Afrika dan Amerika Latin."

opini : Menurut saya rencana  PT RAI , memproduksi 400  pesawat turbo propeller pada 2016 sangat bagus ,karena dapat membantu memajukan perumbuhan industri indonesia yang sebelumnya belum mengalami pertumbuhan yang bagus.

Noun Phrases

Modifiers can come before or after the noun. Ones that come before might include articles, possessive nouns, possessive pronoun, adjectives, and/or participles.
