Garuda posts 3Q profit and strong growth figures fuelled by robust Indonesian economy
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.
