"The world's airlines industry trend that has tended to decline over the last five years, as well as the weakening consumer demand of early this year, has a direct impact on the company's continued financial performance.

With the pressure of losses that tend to be progressive, a fundamental transformation of aspects of financial strategy and financial mitigation is needed. Although Garuda Indonesia recorded an increase in revenue of 6.2%, operating costs increased by 21.3%, causing the company to record a net loss of 99.1 million US dollars in the current year.

"Therefore, through the opportunity that given to us in the new management of Garuda Indonesia, we strive continuously to make overall improvement efforts related to the focus and efforts to improve financial performance significantly."

"The company's financial performance in the first quarter of 2017 (January - March) can be said to be far from the set targets, so there is a need for breakthroughs to produce sustainable and solid business growth."

Garuda Indonesia targets a significant increase in the company's financial performance over the next six months by implementing short-term financial strategy focusing on financial performance, operational excellence, and customer experience.

The strategy is implemented through the "5 Quick Wins Priority" program by maximizing fleet cost optimization, route optimization, reducing cost, enhancing value from subsidiary Citilink, and Enhance Revenue Management System.

Meanwhile, from the aspect of service, commitment in maintaining the quality of service and operational excellence will continue to be improved. With Garuda Indonesia market segmentation as a "full service" airline, the value of our services will continue to maximize, in particular by strengthening the concept of Indonesian Hospitality and the company's commercial digital service base.
