Garuda plans strategic growth; to boost capacity on S'pore route

Singapore

GARUDA Indonesia, which is restructuring its network and trimming costs to turn itself around, will still be boosting capacity into Singapore on its Jakarta and Surabaya services.

By October, Garuda will upgauge by using six widebody Airbus A330s to operate its ten daily services between Jakarta and Singapore, up from just two A330s today. It will do this by swopping out some narrowbody Boeing 737-800s, effectively lifting its weekly capacity on the route by about 20 per cent.
