There are three airlines from Indonesia that bridge the people-to-people relations between the two countries. Garuda Indonesia, Citilink and Lion Air are three airlines from Indonesia that fly to China, according to data from the local civil aviation authority monitored from Beijing, Sunday (6/18).
