Singapore Airshow 2012: Garuda Indonesia, Citilink and Lion accelerate fleet expansion

15-Feb-12 11:25 AM

Indonesia’s two largest airline groups, Garuda Indonesia and Lion Air, are further accelerating the expansion of their fleets as they look to capitalise on their leading positions in one of the world’s biggest emerging markets.

The two groups – which include Garuda budget carrier Citilink, Lion Air regional subsidiary Wings Air and soon Lion Air’s new full service unit Space Jet – are now committed to at least triple the size of their combined fleets from the current figure of about 180 aircraft.

Other Indonesian carriers, including Indonesia AirAsia, Batavia, Mandala and Sriwijaya, are also expected to rapidly grow their fleets as the total number of commercial aircraft operating in Indonesia could approach 1000 aircraft towards the end of the next decade.

Garuda Indonesia CEO, Emirsyah Satar Garuda posts 3Q profit and strong growth figures fuelled by robust Indonesian economy

29-Oct-11 10:40 AM

Garuda Indonesia has returned to the black after a challenging 1H2011 and has a bullish outlook, particularly in the fast-growing Indonesian domestic market. Garuda aims to tap into the expected 14% to 16% annual growth in Indonesia’s domestic market by pursuing rapid expansion at its budget unit Citilink, which it expects will be profitable starting in 4Q2011, and establishing a new regional jet operation from 2H2012.

Garuda is now preparing to spin off the Citilink unit into a separate company in early 2012, which will enable the LCC to pursue faster growth. Citilink recently began operating its first Airbus A320 and aims to be operating 20 of the type by the end of next year. Garuda is also planning to soon place an order for 18 large regional jets, which will be used primarily to improve connections at secondary bases.

High fuel prices drive 2Q loss at Garuda despite improved load factors and spike in revenues

1-Aug-11 4:51 PM

Garuda Indonesia’s string of three consecutive years of profit, which began after its 2007 restructuring, is in jeopardy as the carrier has now recorded losses for two consecutive quarters. But Guruda remains bullish on its medium-term outlook as it continues to rapidly expand revenues, improve load factors, grow its market share and work on turning around the performance of its LCC unit Citilink.

Garuda Indonesia CEO, Emirsyah Satar Paris 2011: Indonesia takes centre stage

22-Jun-11 5:15 PM

Indonesia’s potential for more rapid aviation growth is expected to fuel a surge in new aircraft orders beyond those announced at this week’s Paris Air Show.

Paris 2011: Sriwijaya’s ageing fleet gets big boost with E190s

21-Jun-11 5:36 AM

Sriwijaya Air is responding to intensifying competition in the Indonesian market by committing to become the first Indonesian customer for E190s. The new type will allow Sriwijaya to differentiate itself from some of its low-cost competitors and expand into some of Indonesia’s many fast-growing secondary routes.

Garuda A320 order to fuel rapid growth at Citilink

16-Jun-11 4:32 PM

Garuda Indonesia is accelerating capacity expansion at its low-cost unit Citilink by adding A320s and reconfiguring its existing B737-300/400s. Garuda hopes the fleet changes at Citilink will significantly improve profitability at the loss-making unit and help Garuda compete more effectively in Indonesia’s fast-growing low-cost carrier (LCC) sector.
