Indonesian airline steps up services for China travelers
(China Daily) Updated: 2014-08-13 14:15Safety
Garuda Indonesia Airlines has operated the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit Programme (IOSA) since 2008.
The airline said this reflects its commitment to providing a safe environment for passengers and staff members.
The company, which has a number of high-end safety protection mechanisms, has also stepped up efforts to minimize accidents or incidents attributable to organizational factors.
As a champion for safety and as the flag carrier of Indonesia, the company has become the trusted option for many people who select air travel as a means of transportation, according to Garuda.
Immigration onboard
Since May 4 last year, Garuda started using "Immigration on Board", a special service created by the airline that can be used by Chinese passengers traveling from Shanghai to Jakarta.
In cooperation with the Directorate General of Immigration, Indonesian Ministry of Law and Human Rights, the service allows passengers on certain long haul flights to complete their immigration process onboard before landing and disembarking.
