SIA and Garuda Indonesia ink MoU for marketing initiatives

The agreement aims to grow tourism and economic activities as borders reopen. 

A joint media release by Singapore Airlines and Gardua Indonesia revealed that they have entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that covers marketing initiatives to promote inbound tourism into Indonesia.

The collaboration also targets the potential alignment of frequent flyer programmes, as well as maintenance, repair, and overhaul.

The agreement was signed by Garuda Indonesia President and CEO Irfan Setiaputra and SIA CEO Goh Choon Phong on November 26, which also coincided with the upcoming launch of a quarantine-free Vaccinated Travel Lane between Indonesia and Singapore on 29 November.

“Singapore Airlines and Garuda Indonesia have a strong and long-standing relationship, reflecting the warm and robust bilateral ties between Singapore and Indonesia, as well as the close connections between the people of the two countries. This agreement allows us to leverage the strengths of both partners to provide our customers with a greater array of choices, as well as an enhanced and more seamless travel journey. It would also enable us to work closely together to support initiatives that facilitate and grow tourism and economic activity as borders reopen,” said Phong.
