With the vision of expansion as well as bridging the gaps in transportation between hinterland communities and the coastlands, Air Services Limited (ASL) yesterday launched scheduled flights to Region Seven.

The flights, which will begin from November 12th, will operate every Tues-day and Thursday from Ogle to Kama-rang, with connections to Imbaimadai, Phillipai, Chi Chi East, Chi Chi West, Paruima, Kaikan and Ekereku Bottom.

The new service is expected to serve communities where the only means of getting to and from the coastland were chartered flights.
