Operational director of Garuda, Bambang Adisurya Angkasa said that maintaining the airline’s punctuality would be challenging as the Idul Fitri peak season was coming.
“We will continue to perform on time through the inspection of flight operation, particularly in safety measures […], therefore we are confident we can go through the peak season safely, punctually and comfortably,” Bambang was quoted as saying. (mut)
