Garuda Orders Six Long Range Aircraft

Garuda Indonesia has placed a firm order with Airbus for six long-range A330-200s.

Scheduled for delivery from the fourth quarter of 2012, the aircraft will join the carrier's fleet of four recently delivered leased A330-200s and six owned A330-300s, already in service.

Emirsyah Satar, president & CEO, Garuda Indonesia: "Since we started operating the A330-200 last year, it has proven itself to be a winner for us both in terms of operating economics and passenger appeal."
