Garuda Indonesia's History
The history of Garuda Indonesia is closely connected to the history of the nation and the struggle for independence.
Garuda Indonesia began its first commercial services during the independence campaign under the name "Indonesian Airways" using a DC3 aircraft named "Seulawah" (Gold Mountain) donated by the people of Aceh. Since then, through "Seulawah" and several other aircrafts, Garuda has served the country and played vital role in Indonesian airline service.
Garuda Indonesia commitment to total quality improvement in the area of service, safety, on-time departures and load factors has brought the company to a period of dynamic and successful change in providing safe, comfortable and reliable air transportation services. The change has successfully improve Garuda Indonesia performance of positive cash flow and operating profit tendency.
Future business challenge trend shows significant increase of complexity and difficulty that demands smart application of tactics and strategy by airline company to overcome such problem. In order to cope with Globalization era and survived in the business, Garuda Indonesia is seriously determined to prepare its privatization issue in the near future.
It is our sincere hope that through such efforts Garuda will remain a source of great national pride for Indonesia, and that we will continue to be one of Asia's most respected airlines.
