GARUDA Indonesia is upping the flight frequency between Jakarta and Amsterdam from five to six times a week in order to meet rising travel demand to Europe.
The addition of the new thrice-weekly Jakarta-Singapore-Amsterdam service, starting July 22, will see the present Jakarta-Amsterdam-London Gatwick route reduced to three times a week.
Operated on the Boeing 777-300ER, the Jakarta-Amsterdam service via Singapore will be operated on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, while the route via London will fly on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.
The inclusion of Singapore to the Jakarta-Amsterdam service is part of Garuda’s effort to develop the travel market from Singapore to Europe, as well as to offer another travel option for customers travelling to Europe from its Amsterdam hub.
Handayani, director commercial of Garuda, said the Indonesian flag carrier is increasing flight frequency on the Jakarta-Amsterdam route to keep up with the growing travel demand to Europe.
She added that London is another important destination in Garuda’s European network.
“In line with the airline’s route restructuring in Europe, Garuda is also developing codeshare agreements with various airline partners on the Amsterdam-London service to complement its three times a week schedule,” Handayani said.
“We will continue to enhance our London service in the future to meet increasing market demands.”
