Emirates and Garuda Indonesia have launched a codeshare agreement which will see passengers travelling with the two carriers enjoy seamless connectivity on 16 routes across the Americas, Middle East, Africa and Europe.
Garuda Indonesia will place its code on routes operated by Emirates, between Jakarta and Dubai, in addition to onwards flights to Paris, London Heathrow, Manchester, Milan and Barcelona from Emirates’ hub. Similarly, Emirates will place its code on Garuda Indonesia operated flights on ten routes via two of its hubs, Jakarta and Denpasar.
Emirates passengers will also be able to travel to seven additional domestic hubs in Indonesia, beyond Jarkarta and Bali, while enjoying the convenience of seamless booking, easy connections, one baggage policy and baggage-check through to the final destination. Domestic points which Emirates customers can travel to include Denpasar, Surabaya, Makassar, Balikpapan, Manado, Medan, Padang and Solo from Jakarta, while from Denpasar customers can fly to Jakarta, Surabaya and Makassar.
Irfan Setiaputra, President & CEO, Garuda Indonesia said: “The start of this partnership is in line with Garuda’s commitment to contribute to the national economic recovery and connect Indonesia to the world. With more countries easing travel restrictions and reopening borders, we look forward to serving both Emirates customers flying to Indonesia, and Garuda customers to travel to more destinations around the globe.”
In addition to expanding the breadth of each airline’s network with possible add-ons to Indonesian and regional points, Emirates and Garuda Indonesia will also explore opportunities to cooperate on their respective frequent flyer programmes, to enable customers of both airlines to earn and redeem loyalty points for reward tickets, upgrades and other exclusive benefits.
