Bringing Brands Closer To Creative Touch In The Sky

During the period July to September 2025, Garuda Indonesia passengers will be greeted with various visual elements from Sky Explorer starting from boarding passes, luggage tags, to paper glasses and head support covers with the theme Mitsubishi x Tahilalats. In fact, cabin announcements and content in the flight entertainment system will display promotional materials designed exclusively.

The August edition of Garuda Indonesia's Colours magazine will also contain a special article on the latest Mitsubishi Motors model, while booklets from collaboration with Tahilalats will be available on aircraft with the theme Sky Explorer and certain lounges of Garuda Indonesia.

"This partnership is an important momentum in showing how innovation in IP development through the launch of IP Sky Explorer can be an innovative promotional strategy. This collaboration strengthens the visibility and relevance of brands in the midst of dynamic markets," said President Director of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk Wamildan Tsani.
