Garuda's smoking policy

Garuda's smoking policy

In regard to the letter by Yuliyanti complaining about the
smoking policy during a Garuda Jeddah-Jakarta flight (The Jakarta
Post, Jan. 8), first and foremost, we would like to convey our
sincerest apology for the inconvenience.

We do understand the discomfort you experienced at that time.

Further, we would like to let you know that Garuda has
implemented a "no smoking policy" on most of its flights, with
Middle East routes an exception with a smoking section in the
very last row. Furthermore, effective Jan. 1, 2004, you will
enjoy no smoking flights on all Garuda flights.
