Garuda Indonesia To Fly Direct From Jakarta To London

Indonesia?s national carrier the first to connect Indonesia and UK non-stop

Garuda Indonesia, the airline of Indonesia, has announced it will launch direct services from Jakarta to London for the first time in Q4 2013. The route will be served with six weekly flights on the airline?s new Boeing 777-300 aircraft, accommodating 314 passengers across First, Executive and Economy Class.

Garuda Indonesia President and CEO, Emirsyah Satar explained that the opening of the route from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport to Gatwick Airport will complement the existing Jakarta - Abu Dhabi - Amsterdam route, and is part of the Quantum Leap program to further develop Garuda Indonesia?s international network and become a ?global player?.

?This flight will be more convenient since it will be serving passengers - non-stop from Jakarta to London with the brand new B777-300ER, which will be equipped with Wi-Fi and a chef on board for First Class passengers. We chose Gatwick, London as the UK airport because of its convenience and good network and accessibility options into Europe and beyond," Satar added.

British Prime Minister David Cameron said: "We want to link Britain up with the world's fastest growing economies. And good air links are vital to achieving that. This new route from London to Jakarta is good for British business and will help them to compete in the global race."

This year, Garuda Indonesia has also expanded its flight network to Europe through codeshare agreements with other international airlines, including Etihad Airways, which enables passengers to fly into seven major cities across Europe.
