Garuda Indonesia joins Sky Team

Garuda Indonesia has joined SkyTeam, the global airline alliance, as its 20th member. It is the second airline from Southeast Asia and it adds Jakarta as an alternative gateway to and from South East Asia, as well as 40 new destinations to SkyTeam's global network served uniquely by the alliance. This alliance will provide Garuda an access to SkyTeam's 1,064 destinations, covering over 90% of the most relevant traffic flows in the world. Garuda flies to 64 destinations in 12 countries, including 40 domestic destinations. SkyTeam customers from every continent will benefit from easier access to Indonesia's key business and tourism destinations, facilitated by Garuda's partnerships with alliance members.

The airline boosts SkyTeam's presence in Australia with service to Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney; and in Tokyo with flights to both Narita and Haneda airports.
