Garuda Indonesia’s CEO announced that the airline is in advanced discussions with Boeing to acquire between 50 and 75 aircraft, specifically the 737 MAX 8 and 787‑9 Dreamliner models, as part of a major fleet expansion strategy. The move supports a broader restructuring plan approved on June 30 that includes launching at least 100 new routes by 2029. This potential Boeing deal marks a significant return to using the 737 MAX after previously cancelling orders amidst the aircraft’s past safety controversies, signaling renewed confidence and an ambitious push to scale domestic and international operations.
