"The growth in Garuda Indonesia's cargo markets was carried out by optimising cargo space, which included maximising the commodities that have high yields - including building synergies with other sectors of the logistics industry in maximising the reach and service of Garuda air cargo products until reaching aspects of door to door services,” said president director of Garuda Indonesia, M. Arif Wibowo. 

"In the future, we will also increase the capacity of the cargo business through the existing routes of international flights we serve."
