Saudia and Garuda Indonesia have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance a joint business partnership, establishing the framework for a future joint business agreement designed to strengthen connectivity between the two carriers and provide guests with more travel options.
Building on their existing codeshare cooperation and shared membership in the SkyTeam alliance, the MoU will allow both carriers to explore single-ticket travel across their networks. This would connect Garuda Indonesia’s network in Indonesia and Australia with Saudia’s destinations across the Middle East, Europe and Africa.
The agreement also covers potential cooperation in network planning, flight schedules between Saudi Arabia and Indonesia, sales, marketing and distribution in markets of mutual interest. In addition, both carriers will explore areas related to loyalty programmes, technology infrastructure, airport services, and services for Umrah and Hajj guests.
