Garuda's regular flights to Jeddah

Garuda's regular flights to Jeddah

From Neraca

Garuda Indonesia is still running regular Jakarta-Jeddah
flights three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The
flight numbers are GA-990, Jakarta-Jeddah, and GA-991 for Jeddah-
Jakarta.

The information that Garuda has stopped these flights since
April 25 for an indefinite period, which was carried by several
sources of media, is just not true. Reasons mentioned were that
the plane was reserved for the second haj homecoming.

Garuda Indonesia has never combined regular flights with the
haj pilgrimage, not even this year.

This year, Garuda chartered 24 wide-bodies from several
foreign airlines, including World Airways, Kuwait Air, SIA, OAM
France, Tower Air, Air Canada and Britannia. Regular flights are
flown by Garuda itself.

Garuda's regular Jakarta-Jeddah route is a marketable venture.
Closure or temporary closure of this flight route is, therefore,
unthinkable.
