The majority of the company’s shareholders approved of Garuda’s fleet expansion program in view of the promising market growth in the domestic and regional sectors. The approval was given during the Garuda Indonesia Extraordinary General Shareholders’ Meeting which took place on Friday, February 3, 2012, in the Auditorium of the Garuda Indonesia Management Building, Soekarno – Hatta International Airport, Cengkareng – Jakarta.
The new proposal for the airline’s fleet development until 2016 specified the number of additional aircraft as follows:
- Boeing 737-800NG, from 10 units was increased to 20 units
- Boeing 777-300ER 10 units

Previously, the Quantum Leap program had targeted a fleet growth of 154 aircraft by the end of 2015.
