8 Salam Garuda Indonesia SALAM GARUDA INDONESIA Emirsyah Satar President & CEO PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. Dear Valued Customers, As we embrace the holy month of Ramadan 1435 H, which began at the end of June, on behalf of Garuda Indonesia I would like to extend my warmest wishes to all of our customers who are fasting during this blessed period. Indeed, our customers’ convenience and needs are some of our main priorities, so during the month of Ramadan, we have made thoughtful adjustments to our service and have prepared a special in-flight menu to be respectful of all our valued customers who will be fasting throughout the month ahead. As we have done in previous years, to accommodate the large number of passengers who are travelling back to their home towns for the holidays and to celebrate Eid al-Fitr with their loved ones, Garuda Indonesia will raise capacity through additional flights to Surabaya, Yogyakarta, Padang, and Denpasar. Flight frequencies for tourist destinations, including Singapore and Bangkok, will also be increased for those planning to vacation abroad. The additional seat capacity will be effective starting one week before until one week after Eid al-Fitr. Garuda Indonesia, together with our subsidiary Citilink, will actually provide 1.7 million seats during this period, which is an increase of 11 percent over the same period last year. Meanwhile, as part of our corporate social responsibility efforts, especially in educating the general public about the airline industry, we recently launched Aviapedia 2, which is a continuation of the first Aviapedia book that we launched in 2012. I sincerely hope that this new installment in the Aviapedia series, which is packed with insightful information concerning the airline industry, will become a trusted reference point in learning about the exciting developments of this mature industry and its continued growth. Lastly, we thank you for your trust and loyalty in always choosing to fly with Garuda Indonesia.
