Jakarta (VNA) – Garuda Indonesia, the national flag carrier of Indonesia, and Singapore Airlines plan to enter into a joint venture (JV) to increase passenger capacity between the two countries as post-COVID tourism in Southeast Asia ramps up.

The proposed JV would allow the carriers to potentially synchronise schedules, improving passengers' connectivity and convenience, and explore new initiatives, including joint fare products and an alignment of corporate programmes, Indonesian Vice Minister of State-Owned Enterprises Kartika Wirjoatmodjo said on May 29.

The plan will cover routes between Singapore and Denpasar, Jakarta, and Surabaya, and deepen the existing cooperation between the two carriers./.
