Fleet

All of Garuda Indonesia's aircraft are maintained by GMF AeroAsia. After the arrival of the 7th Airbus A330-200 aircraft in 2011, Garuda Indonesia still expects 2 more Airbus A330-200 to join its wide-body fleet by the end of 2012. In addition, four Boeing 737-800 and five Bombardier CRJ1000 NextGen are also expected to join Garuda Indonesia's fleet by the end of 2012. The Boeing customer code for Garuda Indonesia is U3, which appears in their aircraft designation as a suffix, such as 737–5U3, 737–8U3 and 747–4U3. Garuda Indonesia will be retiring 3 aircraft in 2012, consisting of 1 Boeing 747-400 and 2 Boeing 737-400s.

Currently, the airline is utilising the Airbus A330-200s on its route to Amsterdam, East Asian and Australian flights originating from Jakarta, Boeing 747-400s on their Jakarta-Jeddah routes, Airbus A330-300s for most of their Australian and East Asian routes originating from Bali, Boeing 737-800s on most domestic and regional routes and on the Perth to Denpasar and Jakarta to Taipei International routes, and the Boeing 737 Classics on domestic sectors. Once the Boeing 777-300ERs enters into service, they will be used on the planned non-stop European and US flights. The airline has also ordered 18 Bombardier CRJ1000 NextGen aircraft with 5 of them due to be delivered from October to December 2012.
