JAKARTA - Garuda Indonesia, a national airline, continues to strengthen its commitment to supporting the mobility of Indonesian diaspora by launching the Corporate Account program with the Indonesian Diaspora Network (IDN) Global.

Through the 'Corporate Account' program, Garuda Indonesia presents various conveniences and added value such as offers for flight ticket discounts reaching 20 percent, priority protection, dedicated check-in counters, dedicated PIC sales, to additional 5 kg baggage for group trips; to support the needs of all members, administrators, and stakeholders of IDN Global.

President Director of Garuda Indonesia, Irfan Setiaputra, said that exploring the collaboration with IDN Global is a sustainable initiative of the Company as a national flag carrier to contribute to supporting state ambassadors in the international arena who have an important role and significant contribution to widening Indonesia's potential to the global level.

"We believe that this collaboration is closely related to the joint commitment that Garuda Indonesia and Identification Global put forward, which is not only focused on building the image of the country and strengthening the nation's identity in global forums, but also in making the best contribution to Indonesia's development when returning to Indonesia".

"This is because diaspora is a human capital as well as a strategic social capital for Indonesia in supporting the progress of the Nation," explained Irfan.

Irfan continued, the 'Initiative Garuda Indonesia' was carried out proactively to support the strengthening of the network and diaspora capabilities. We believe that this collaboration with global IDN is the right step for both global IDN and Garuda Indonesia, which have the passion to increase the competitive advantage of the Indonesian nation at the global level in various social sectors, both economic, social, and cultural through the Indonesian diaspora network.'

Irfan explained that the Indonesian diaspora is one of the market share that has the potential to be developed considering that in 2023 the Indonesian government recorded at least 6 million diaspora spread throughout the world and is believed to increase in 2024.

"Through this collaboration, Garuda Indonesia can contribute positively in supporting Indonesian diaspora activities in various countries through the availability of extensive flight networks, especially in various friendly countries with fairly high diaspora populations such as Malaysia and Hong Kong which are served directly by Garuda Indonesia flights," said Irfan.

In addition, through exploring this collaboration, Garuda Indonesia and IDN Global will also continue to maximize the collaborative aspect by opening the potential for cooperation in cargo, logistics, charter, accountability, and markering services as well as cooperation with Garuda Indonesia Group to support the needs of IDN Global.

"We hope that this collaboration can make a real contribution in improving the image and increasingly introducing the potential of the Indonesian nation in the global economic arena in the future so that the positive impact can be directly felt through improving the standard of life and increasing the class of various social aspects," concluded Irfan.
