Salam Garuda Indonesia

SALAM

GARUDA INDONESIA
M. Arif Wibowo
President & CEO
PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk.

Dear valued Garuda Indonesia customers,
This past October marked a special month
for us, keeping in mind that in October
Garuda Indonesia was honoured to be chosen
by SkyTeam to host the Supervisory Board
Meeting, which was attended by the leaders of
the 20 members of the global airline alliance in
Nusa Dua, Bali.

We are glad that our Travel Fair, which we’ve
held regularly since 2008, has grown and
developed into what it is today: the biggest
travel fair of its kind in all of Indonesia. The
event always seems to attract more and more
visitors every year, consistently surpassing our
target for total visitors every time.

Garuda Indonesia being chosen as the host
represented an opportunity for us not only
to share the beauty and huge potential of
Indonesia and to expand the possibilities of
service and network cooperation with our
SkyTeam partner airlines, but also to promote
Indonesia on a global level.

Moreover, to show our commitment to social
environments, Garuda Indonesia through
our corporate social responsibility (CSR)
programme carried out a series of initiatives,
including the cultivation of pineapple and
pepper agribusiness and developing the
potential of tourism based on mangrove
conservation in Belitung. In supporting
education, Garuda Indonesia also provided
educational support to underprivileged children
in Luwuk, Central Sulawesi.

Meanwhile, Garuda Indonesia conducted
phase 2 of our Travel Fair, which was
implemented simultaneously in 18 major
cities across Indonesia at the beginning of
October and successfully achieved a total
of Rp447 billion in sales – far exceeding our
set target of Rp386 billion.

Lastly, once again we thank you for your
continued trust and loyalty in always
choosing to fly with Garuda Indonesia.
