Beijing (Antara Bali) - The prolonged European crisis has prompted the Indonesian flag carrier Garuda Indonesia to place its domestic and regional market on a solid footing, its President Director Emirsyah Satar said here on Sunday.
"Although the European crisis does not have a significant impact on Gruda, we reduce its flight frequency to Amsterdam to four times a week," said Emirsyah, who is concurrently the leader of International Air Transport Association (IATA) for Asia and the Pacific region.
He said the European crisis and the skyrocketing fuel oil prices became the topic of discussion at the 68th annual meeting of IATA in Beijing from June 11-12, 2012.
Emirsyah explained that despite the European crisis, the positive economic growth in Indonesia would continue to maintain Garuda's domestic market.
"The same is also true with Garuda's regional market to China, Japan, South Korea, and Australia," he noted.(IGT)
