REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA - Indonesian state airline, Garuda Indonesia, is still serving flights to Seoul, South Korea, ahead of the possibility of nuclear war with North Korea.

"We still have normal flights to Seoul," Vice President Corporate Communication Garuda, Pujobroto, said on Friday. Garuda recently served direct flight Jakarta-Seoul on Thursday night using GA 878.

Garuda flies seven time a week from Jakarta to Seoul and five times a week from Denpasar to Seoul using Airbus 300. "Load factor is even full," he said. South Korea is still a popular destination for Indonesians.

North Korea has stationed as many as five medium-range missiles on its east coast, according to defense assessments by Washington and Seoul, possibly in readiness for a test-launch that would demonstrate its ability to hit US bases on Guam. A Pentagon spy agency has concluded that North Korea has the ability to launch nuclear-armed ballistic missiles although they would likely be unreliable.
