As of October 28 2018, Garuda's sole European destination will be Amsterdam, with flights operating six times a week. SkyTeam partner KLM is understood to be providing the final one-hour leg to London.
Garuda Indonesia will terminate its non-stop flights between Jakarta and London in October, blaming unprofitability on the route.
As of October 28 2018, Garuda's sole European destination will be Amsterdam, with flights operating six times a week. SkyTeam partner KLM is understood to be providing the final one-hour leg to London.
Garuda’s Amsterdam-Jakarta flight, which currently operates via Singapore, will go non-stop after this date.
In April 2016, Garuda Indonesia began operating its London flights into Heathrow rather than Gatwick as part of a planned switch between airports serving the UK capital. Garuda had made a return to Gatwick in September 2014, when it extended Amsterdam flights to the London airport.
"We will work closely with our airline partners to assist our valued passengers affected by this change to ensure that we are able to rearrange their itineraries and re-accommodate them through our Amsterdam-Jakarta route or other alternative flights," Garuda Indonesia said in a statement.
Garuda currently flies its flagship Boeing 777-300ER jets between Jakarta and London just three times each week. Those jets are expected to be reassigned to the Melbourne-Bali and Jakarta-Tokyo routes.
