Garuda to resume flights to Europe next year

"(Garuda will resume flying) on condition that flight ban to Europe has been lifted, and Garuda has proper planes to resume the flights," Garuda managing director, Emirsyah Satar told the press here Friday after the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) by the national flag-carrier and World Wildlife Fund (WWF).

Emirsyah said, the right choice now for the flights to Europe would be the wide-bodied long-distance airliners for the Jakarta-Amsterdam and Bali-Amsterdam flights.

"We should determine the best choice, Airbus 330 or Boeing 777," Emisryah said, adding that Amsterdam has become the most potential destination.
