        "answer": "A direct flight from Jakarta (CGK) to Pontianak (PNK) typically takes about 1 hour 30 minutes. Return flights are similar in duration.

        "question": "Are there any direct flights from Jakarta to Pontianak?",

Seven airlines operate the route: Super Air Jet (IU), Citilink (QG), Garuda Indonesia (GA), Batik Air (ID), Sriwijaya Air (SJ), Lion Air (JT), and Nam Air (IN), with all running daily service except Nam Air which flies only on Tuesdays. Combined, there are over 120 weekly non-stop departures spread throughout the day.",
        "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports.",
