Garuda makes changes to Jakarta London and Amsterdam services

Award winning airline, Garuda is reacting to the need for Jakarta's main international airport to protect its runway structure by reducing the number of services it will operate non-stop to European destinations on its Boeing 777-300ER fleet from July 2015 until further notice.

 

Garuda Indonesia will still fly six times a week from Jakarta to Amsterdam, with three services operating directly between the two airports and three services performing an intermediate stop in Singapore. This intermediate stop is to pick up more fuel which allows a much lighter take off weight from Jakarta on these flights. 

The London service is compromised with the three services that are operated non-stop to Amsterdam, without a stop in Singapore, continuing to London Gatwick. The three services which do stop in Singapore will now not operate the further short hop to London Gatwick. 

This intermediate stop is only needed on the flights from Jakarta and all the six flights a week from Amsterdam to Jakarta will fly non-stop between Europe and Indonesia.

All six flights will operate non-stop between Amsterdam and Jakarta without the need to schedule a stop in Singapore.

In summary from July 22nd 2015, the London service operated by Garuda Indonesia is:
On Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays: Flight GA88 will now fly non-stop from Jakarta to Amsterdam and onto London Gatwick . 
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays Flight GA89 will now fly from London to Amsterdam and non-stop to Jakarta.

The remaining three weekly flights will operate from Jakarta to Amsterdam (only) via Singapore and will return non-stop Amsterdam-Jakarta.
