Garuda Indonesia continues to cut and paste its service to Europe in an effort to find a successful formula.
From January 22, Garuda will launch a London to Bali direct route, although the return leg to the UK will fly via Jakarta. The new service replaces Garuda’s existing route from Heathrow to Jakarta.
Garuda relaunched its indirect service from London Gatwick to Jakarta - via Amsterdam - in 2014. It switched the departure airport to Heathrow the following year, stopping in Singapore instead of the Netherlands.
In October 2017 the route became non-stop, but then in October 2018 it was scrapped in what was described as a “restructure”. Just one month later it is back, with Bali added to attract UK leisure travellers.
