  Garuda ties up with SITA

Jakarta : Garuda Indonesia has chosen air transport communications specialist, SITA, to provide AIRCOM Datalink Services for its growing fleet of aircraft as part of its "Quantum Leap" modernisation plan which includes doubling the fleet to 116 over the next five years.

The recently launched strategy aims to re-establish Garuda as a leading international airline and this five-year deal with SITA will ensure reliable aircraft communications from any part of the globe over VHF and SATCOM Services.
SITA's AIRCOM Communicati-ons Services will enable Garu-da to substantially automate the airline's flight operations including the automated uplink of load sheets, position reports and aircraft movement reports.

The result will be fuel savings, schedule optimisations and enhanced passenger services as there will be fewer flight interruptions and unnecessary delays.

Emirsyah Satar, President and CEO, Garuda Indonesia, said: "Our Quantum Leap strategy includes a major fleet rejuvenation and expansion. SITA's AIRCOM services will ensure that we meet the highest standards for our aircraft communications as we introduce the new aircraft and recommence our intercontinental flights."

"We are assured that with SITA's support our infrastructure and operational efficiencies will be on par with other major international airlines, both in Asia and the rest of the world."
