Painting on Progress at the Hangar

On September 2018 Garuda Indonesia Plans to divert all of their Aircraft ATR 72-600 fleet to Citilink, after reviewing and discussing with management, Garuda Indonesia concluded to give their 16 ATR 72-600 aircraft fleet to its subsidiary, Citilink. This is a great news and also perfect strategy from Indonesian Flag Carrier to reduce operational cost of company.

Citilink can fly ATR fleet for new route, especially for small Airport destination, with short runway, like in Papua, Sumatera, Kalimantan,t here are still has lots of small airport. With this great decision Garuda Indonesia and also Citilink can gain Company Profit.

Friend of mine share us some picture of painting progress, changing color from Garuda Indonesia Livery to Citlink Livery.
