Garuda Indonesia, the airline of Indonesia, launched a new service from Jakarta to London via Amsterdam today, as part of the airline's transformation program “the Quantum Leap 2011-2015”.
London serves as the airline’s second gateway in the region after Amsterdam. By launching the five times weekly service to London, Garuda Indonesia is now able to provide the first direct link between Indonesia and the United Kingdom.
Garuda Indonesia operates its service to the capital city of England connected to the Jakarta – Amsterdam non-stop flight. Therefore, starting today the Jakarta – Amsterdam – Jakarta flight changed to become Jakarta – Amsterdam – London – Amsterdam – Jakarta. The adjustment provides added convenience for the many Indonesians who wish to visit multiple cities in Europe during their trip.
The schedule for Jakarta – Amsterdam – London is as follows (all times local):
