INDONESIAN flag carrier Garuda Indonesia is increasing capacity on its routes between Singapore and Jakarta by deploying large aircraft to meet strong demand.
In mid-August, Garuda exchanged 162-seater Boeing 737-800 services for 222-seater Airbus A330-200 aircraft on the 12.20 and 20.20 services departing Singapore, increasing capacity on each flight by 37 per cent.
The aircraft was also deployed for the 08.35 and 16.30 flights leaving Jakarta.
Garuda will further adjust capacity for the abovementioned flights on November 6 to meet higher projected demand by replacing the A330-200 with 257-seater A330-300 aircraft.
Another two daily B737-800 flights will be operated with the A330-200s instead.
Garuda will also move its check-in services at Changi Airport Terminal 3 from Row 1 to Row 5 beginning September 25.
