==History==
===Beginnings (1949–60s)===

The predecessor to Garuda Indonesia was a [[KLM]] subsidiary, [[KLM Interinsulair Bedrijf]] (KLM Interinsular Service), which was nationalized in December 1949.<ref name="Casius">{{cite book |last1=Casius |first1=Gerard |title=40 jaar luchtvaart in Indië |last2=Postma |first2=Thijs |publisher=Alkmaar |year=1986 |isbn=978-9060139448 |language=nl}}</ref>

In its current institutional form, Garuda Indonesia had its beginnings in the [[Indonesian National Revolution|Indonesian war of independence]] against the Dutch in the late 1940s, when Garuda flew special transports with a [[Douglas DC-3]]. The first aircraft was a DC-3 known as ''Seulawah'' (Acehnese: "Gold Mountain", or from Arabic Shalawah, means praise/worship) and was purchased for 120,000 [[Malayan dollar]]s, which was provided by the [[Acehnese people|people of Aceh]] (notably local merchants).<ref>[http://tempatwisataindonesia.com/history-tours-in-aceh/monument-ri-seulawah.html Monument Ri Seulawah] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140309095828/http://tempatwisataindonesia.com/history-tours-in-aceh/monument-ri-seulawah.html |date=9 March 2014 }}</ref> The first commercial flight from [[Calcutta]] to [[Yangon]] (then, ''Rangoon'') was on 26 January 1949, using a DC-3 Dakota aircraft with the tail number RI 001 and the name Indonesian Airways. 26 January 1949 is generally recognized as the airline's founding date.<ref name=History>{{cite web|title=About Garuda Indonesia |publisher=Garuda Indonesia|url = https://www.garuda-indonesia.com/id/en/corporate-partners/company-profile/about/index.page? |access-date=26 October 2015}}</ref>

The name ''[[Garuda]]'' is taken from the [[Hindu]] tradition: it is the name of Lord [[Vishnu]]'s mount (''[[vahana]]'') and was introduced in 1949. During the [[Dutch–Indonesian Round Table Conference]] at The Hague, from 23 August to 2 November 1949, Indonesian President [[Sukarno]] cited a Dutch poem by a renowned Javanese scholar and poet Raden Mas [[Noto Soeroto]]: "''Ik ben Garuda, Vishnoe's vogel, die zijn vleugels uitslaat hoog boven uw eilanden''", which means "I'm Garuda, Vishnu's Bird, that spreads its wings high above the Islands". The first flight under the name Garuda Indonesian Airways was made with a second DC-3 entering service in 1949. Its first flight under the new name was to pick up Sukarno in Yogyakarta on 28 December.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.garuda-indonesia.com/id/en/corporate-partners/company-profile/about/index|title=About|publisher=Garuda Indonesia|work=garuda-indonesia.com}}</ref>

Throughout the revolution, Garuda supported national interests and often carried diplomats on its flights. The [[Politics of Myanmar|Burmese government]] helped the airline significantly during its beginnings. The country's national airline, [[Myanmar National Airlines|Union of Burma Airways]], often chartered one of the airline's DC-3s for its own flights. Accordingly, upon Garuda's formal joint incorporation with [[KLM]] on 31 March 1950, the airline gave the Burmese government a DC-3.

By the early and mid 1950s, the airline operated a fleet of 38 aircraft, including 22 DC-3s, 8 [[Consolidated PBY Catalina|Catalina]] seaplanes, and 8 [[Convair CV-240 family|Convair 240s]]. In 1956, the airline operated its first flight to Mecca with Convair aircraft, carrying 40 Indonesian pilgrims.<ref name=History/>

Garuda's fleet continued to grow throughout the 1960s, during which the airline continued its expansion. It acquired three [[Lockheed L-188 Electra]]s in 1961, which supplemented its [[Convair CV-240 family|Convair CV-240]] fleet, before taking delivery of its first jet aircraft, the [[Convair 990 Coronado]], in 1963, which allowed it to launch flights to Hong Kong.

In 1965, the airline took delivery of its first [[Douglas DC-8]], and grew beyond the Asian market it was focused on, beginning scheduled flights from [[Kemayoran Airport]] to [[Amsterdam]] and [[Frankfurt]] via [[Colombo]], [[Mumbai|Bombay]], and [[Prague]]. [[Rome]] and [[Paris]] became the airline's third and fourth European destinations, with flights stopping in Bombay and [[Cairo]] to refuel. Flights to the People's Republic of China began that same year, with service to [[Guangzhou]] via [[Phnom Penh]], the first Indonesian airline to do so.

===Continued growth (1970s–90s)===

During the early 1970s, Garuda Indonesian Airways took delivery of both the [[McDonnell Douglas DC-9]] (first delivered in 1969) and [[Fokker F28 Fellowship]] (first delivered in 1971) for its short and medium-haul operations. The airline went on to take delivery of 62 F28s, holding the title of the largest operator of the F28 in the world. In 1976, Garuda took delivery of its first [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10]], giving it the capability to carry more passengers and fly longer flights, and replaced the DC-8 and Convair 990 fleet on flights within Asia and to Europe. The DC-10 became an integral part of the Garuda fleet for the years to come, outlasting the newer [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11]]s, before the type was finally retired in 2002. In 1980, the airline took delivery of the first [[Boeing 747-200]], complementing the DC-10 on high-capacity or long-range routes.

On 21 June 1982, Garuda became the launch customer of the [[Airbus A300]] B4-220FFCC, the first variant of the A300 capable of being operated with two pilots instead of three. By 1984, nine of these were in service, supplemented by 8 [[McDonnell Douglas DC-10]]s, 24 [[McDonnell Douglas DC-9|DC-9]]s, 45 [[Fokker F28 Fellowship|Fokker F-28]]s, and 6 [[Boeing 747|Boeing 747-200s]].<!-- The 737 was mentioned but Garuda Indonesia doesn't refer to the type on its website --> In 1985, under [[Reyn Altin Johannes Lumenta]], who had been CEO since 1984, Garuda Indonesian Airways made the controversial decision to hire foreign brand consultants [[Landor Associates]] to create a new logo, livery and brand, a project regarded as expensive and unnecessary at the time but later applauded as vital for Garuda's reputation and corporate identity as the national airline.

Under Lumenta, Garuda Indonesia also increased the number of flight frequencies and destinations, reduced ticket prices and collaborated with [[Merpati Nusantara Airlines]], introducing flexible tickets valid for both Indonesian airlines.<ref name="autogenerated1">{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20130115153622/http://www.pdat.co.id/ "Reyn Altin Johannes Lumenta", Apa dan Siapa (What and Who), Pusat Data dan Analisa (Centre of Data and Analysis), Tempo Indonesia]}}</ref><ref>"World Airline Directory."

In 1991, Garuda took delivery of the [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11]]s,<ref name=History/> which gradually replaced the DC-10 on flights to Europe and allowed the airline to launch flights to Los Angeles via [[Honolulu]].<ref name="airlineroute.net"/> During this time, the airline operated a fleet of the aforementioned MD-11s, DC-10s, Boeing 747, Airbus A300 and [[Boeing 737 Classic|Boeing 737-400]], operating it to destinations throughout Asia, Europe and North America. In 1994, Garuda took delivery of its first [[Boeing 747-400]] aircraft, which became a mainstay of its fleet until 2015, operating Hajj flights and high-density short-haul routes, while the delivery of the first [[Airbus A330-300]] in 1996 allowed more flexibility, as it was more fuel-efficient than the three- and four-engine jets. That same year, Garuda placed an order for six [[Boeing 777]] aircraft,<ref name="flightglobal.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/garuda-787-agreement-likely-to-replace-777-deal-291928/|title=Aviation reports news and data on a single platform|work=Flightglobal.com}}</ref> due for delivery in 2000, but a new series of challenges and difficulties were about to hit the airline.

===Difficult period (1996–2004)===
[[File:2001 - Garuda Indonesia, Sepinggan, Balikpapan, Kalimantan.jpg|thumb|A [[McDonnell Douglas MD-11]] of Garuda at [[Sultan Aji Muhammad Sulaiman Airport|Sepinggan International Airport]] in 2001|alt=refer to caption]]
The late 1990s and early 2000s proved a turbulent and difficult time for Garuda; accidents in [[Garuda Indonesia Flight 865|Fukuoka]] (Flight 865) in 1996 and [[Garuda Indonesia Flight 152|Medan]] (Flight 152) in 1997 added to problems caused by the [[1997 Asian financial crisis]], resulting in a drastic reduction in operations, including termination of service to the Americas and a massive scaling back of its European operations. Largely due to historical links with the [[Netherlands]], Garuda continued to operate flights to Amsterdam after the initial cutbacks. The other European routes continued were Frankfurt and London. However, Garuda attempted to launch its first non-stop flight from Jakarta to Europe with a Jakarta to Frankfurt service, continuing on to London and back on October 28, 2001, as Garuda Indonesia Flights 970 and 971, the route was short-lived and the route was axed in early 2002 due to the effect of tourism caused by the attacks in the US on September 11 the previous year, along with the ditching of Garuda Flight 421 earlier that year. Finally, both routes returned back to one stop services until they were discontinued in 2003, with the Amsterdam route discontinued the following year on the 28 October 2004. The situation was exacerbated by the [[September 11 attacks|11 September 2001 terrorist attacks]] in the U.S., the [[2002 Bali bombings|Bali bombings]], the [[2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami]], and the [[Severe acute respiratory syndrome|SARS]] scare, all of which contributed to a downturn in air travel and Indonesian tourism.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.travelweekly-asia.com/Travel-News/Garuda-to-pull-out-of-Thailand-2147453131 | title=Garuda to pull out of Thailand }}</ref> Shortly after, its earlier order for the Boeing 777 was deferred, and so was an order for 18 [[737-800|Boeing 737-800]]s to replace its ageing 737 Classic fleet.<ref name="flightglobal.com"/> By 2005, Garuda had largely recovered from its economic problems, swapping its order for six Boeing 777-200ERs for ten of the smaller [[Boeing 787 Dreamliner|Boeing 787-8]] Dreamliners in 2005,<ref name="flightglobal.com"/> but its operational problems remained.<ref>[http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Garuda-Indonesia-Company-History.html Garuda Indonesia – Company History] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120122110602/http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Garuda-Indonesia-Company-History.html |date=22 January 2012 }}.

===Munir murder (2004–2006)===
On 7 September 2004, Garuda's reputation suffered further damage when human rights activist [[Munir Said Thalib]], travelling to Amsterdam via Singapore on Garuda Indonesia Flight 974, was assassinated by off-duty pilot [[Pollycarpus Priyanto]], who slipped arsenic into his drink sometime before the departure of the flight's second leg to Amsterdam. Munir was reported to have felt unwell several hours after departure from Singapore, during which time he was checked on by a doctor who happened to be on board and moved to the business class cabin to sleep. He died about two hours before arrival in Amsterdam, sparking an international controversy, during which time Priyanto, CEO Indra Setiawan, and deputy Rohainil Aini were all convicted of his murder, although it has been alleged it was under orders from the [[State Intelligence Agency (Indonesia)|Indonesian State Intelligence Agency]] (Badan Intelijen Negara).<ref>{{cite web| url=http://thejakartaglobe.beritasatu.com/archive/wikileaks-us-cables-point-to-bin-role-in-munir-murder/| title=WikiLeaks US Cables Point to BIN Role in Munir Murder| access-date=5 February 2019| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150626110140/http://thejakartaglobe.beritasatu.com/archive/wikileaks-us-cables-point-to-bin-role-in-munir-murder/| archive-date=26 June 2015| url-status=dead}}</ref><ref name=autogenerated3>{{cite news|title=Pilot guilty of activist murder|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/7208597.stm|access-date=6 September 2013|publisher=BBC|date=25 January 2008}}</ref><ref name=autogenerated5>{{cite news|title=Denied letter, activists to push to reopen Munir case|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2012/01/05/denied-letter-activists-push-reopen-munir-case.html|access-date=6 September 2013|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|date=5 January 2012}}</ref> The airline was found negligent in failing to perform an emergency landing and was ordered to pay compensation to Munir's widow,<ref name=autogenerated4>{{cite news|title=Judicial Commission tells Garuda to pay|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/02/20/judicial-commission-tells-garuda-pay.html|access-date=6 September 2013|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|date=20 February 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131018012805/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/02/20/judicial-commission-tells-garuda-pay.html|archive-date=18 October 2013}}</ref> but failed to do so.<ref name="autogenerated6">{{cite news|title=Court summons Garuda over Munir death compensation|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/06/14/court-summons-garuda-over-munir-death-compensation.html|access-date=6 September 2013|newspaper=The Jakarta Post|date=14 June 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131018012944/http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/06/14/court-summons-garuda-over-munir-death-compensation.html|archive-date=18 October 2013}}</ref>

===European ban (2007–2009)===
In June 2007, the EU banned Garuda Indonesia and all other Indonesian airlines, from flying into any European countries,<ref>{{Cite news|last=Clark|first=Nicola|title=EU set to ban flights of Indonesia carriers

At the Paris Air Show 2011, Garuda Indonesia announced a firm order of 25 Airbus A320s with an option for another 25.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2011/06/22/garuda-sriwijaya-ink-purchase-deals-paris.html |title=Garuda, Sriwijaya ink purchase deals in Paris |work=The Jakarta Post |date=22 June 2011 |access-date=22 January 2013}}</ref> All 25 Airbus A320s are to be used by their subsidiary, [[Citilink]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aviationnews.eu/2011/08/09/garuda-indonesia-finalises-order-for-25-a320-family-aircraft/citilink-a320neo/ |title=Garuda Indonesia finalises order for 25 A320 Family aircraft Citilink A320neo – INTERNATIONAL AVIATION NEWS |publisher=Aviationnews.eu |date=9 August 2011 |access-date=22 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130524154655/http://www.aviationnews.eu/2011/08/09/garuda-indonesia-finalises-order-for-25-a320-family-aircraft/citilink-a320neo/ |archive-date=24 May 2013}}</ref> The airline's earlier order for the [[Boeing 787 Dreamliner|Boeing 787]], made in 2005, was changed once more, due to the delays in the 787's entry into service. Garuda opted to sign for 10 [[777-300ER|Boeing 777-300ER]]s instead, which it would take delivery of in 2013 to use on long-haul flights to Europe, and medium-haul flights within Asia, such as to Japan, China, Singapore and Saudi Arabia, as well as short-haul domestic routes between Jakarta and Denpasar.

The airline made its debut on the [[Indonesia Stock Exchange]] in February 2011,<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/archive/garuda-ipo-lost-altitude-on-poor-planning-analyst-says/ |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130615171516/http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/archive/garuda-ipo-lost-altitude-on-poor-planning-analyst-says/ |url-status=dead |archive-date=15 June 2013 |title=Garuda IPO Lost Altitude on Poor Planning, Analyst Says |work=Jakarta Globe |date=11 February 2011 |access-date=17 June 2013 }}</ref> with the [[Politics of Indonesia|government of Indonesia]] retaining a majority of the shares. PT Trans Airways bought 10.9% stake of Garuda Indonesia unsold IPO shares from underwriters on 27 April 2012.

In late 2014, the airline became one of seven airlines to earn the prestigious 5-star rating from [[Skytrax]], marking the end of the five-year ''Quantum Leap'' program.<ref name="Skytrax 5-Star">{{cite web|url=http://www.airlinequality.com/news/Garuda-achieves-5-Star-rating.htm |title=Garuda Indonesia is to be confirmed as the world's newest 5-Star Airline |publisher= Airlinequality.com |date=11 December 2014 |access-date=1 February 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141215051343/http://www.airlinequality.com/news/Garuda-achieves-5-Star-rating.htm |archive-date=15 December 2014}}</ref> Following this announcement, Emirsyah Satar, who had been CEO for the past nine years, announced his resignation and retirement and promoted former Citilink chief Arif Wibowo as his successor.

Following Wibowo's promotion, he began a "Quick Wins" cost-cutting drive to cut down on losses while boosting revenue through various measures, including cancelling unprofitable routes and increasing staff efficiency.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ch-aviation.com/portal/news/34374-garuda-indonesia-unveils-quick-wins-cost-cutting-drive|title=Garuda Indonesia unveils 'Quick Wins' cost-cutting drive}}</ref> Despite this, Wibowo remained committed to continuing the airline's international expansion, particularly once market conditions, such as the weakening rupiah, improved. This was reaffirmed following the airline's announcement of its intent to order 90 new aircraft, from both Boeing and Airbus, worth $20&nbsp;billion at list prices at the 2015 Paris Air Show.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/paris-air-show-spending-spree-begins-with-big-garuda-order-10322330.html|title=Paris Air Show spending spree begins with big Garuda order|work=The Independent|access-date=28 August 2017|archive-date=25 September 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150925073534/http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/paris-air-show-spending-spree-begins-with-big-garuda-order-10322330.html|url-status=dead}}</ref> Wibowo retired from his position in 2017, replaced by Pahala Nugraha Mansury the same year before being replaced by I Gusti Ngurah Askhara Danadiputra, otherwise known as Ari Askhara in 2018.

During Ari Askhara's leadership, Garuda introduced live acoustic concerts on domestic flights, which led to criticism.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://kumparan.com/kumparantravel/pro-dan-kontra-soal-live-music-di-dalam-pesawat-garuda-indonesia-1547268219325607025|title=Pro dan Kontra soal Live Music di Dalam Pesawat Garuda Indonesia|website=kumparan|language=id-ID|access-date=2019-12-05}}</ref> as well as reopening the London route from Denpasar, with transit in Medan's [[Kualanamu International Airport]]. It also hit with three high-profile scandals.

In April 2019, Chairal Tanjung and Dony Oskaria, Independent Commissioners of the airline called out that Garuda's 2018 Annual Report was not under the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, thus deciding not to sign the report. Both [[Ministry of Finance (Indonesia)|Ministry of Finance]] and [[Otoritas Jasa Keuangan|Financial Services Authority]] found various violations inside the report as both Independent Commissioners told the public, which led to both regulators imposing a penalty to the airline and auditors involved.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/market/20190424084625-17-68476/wah-ada-yang-aneh-dari-laba-garuda-pada-2018|title=Wah!

On 13 July 2019, travel reviewer and YouTuber Rius Vernandes shared a picture of a hand-written menu during his flight from Sydney to Jakarta, which led to Garuda's management reporting him to the police followed by the airline issuing a regulation prohibiting selfies on the plane and a lawsuit prompted by the Garuda's workers' association also known as SEKARGA. Both Garuda's and SEKARGA's actions were panned and criticized by worldwide netizens. Through mediation, Rius and Garuda settled, and SEKARGA pulled the lawsuit on 19 July 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://megapolitan.kompas.com/read/2019/07/19/20094841/kronologi-youtuber-rius-vernandes-dilaporkan-garuda-indonesia-hingga|title=Kronologi Youtuber Rius Vernandes Dilaporkan Garuda Indonesia hingga Berakhir Damai Halaman all|last=Media|first=Kompas Cyber|website=KOMPAS.com|date=19 July 2019|language=id|access-date=2019-12-05}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.flyertalk.com/articles/garuda-indonesia-throws-tantrum-after-bad-review.html|title=Garuda Indonesia Throws Tantrum After Bad Review|last=Billock|first=Jennifer|date=2019-07-19|website=FlyerTalk - The world's most popular frequent flyer community-US|access-date=2019-12-05}}</ref>

On 5 December 2019, Ari Askhara was fired from his position for smuggling a classic [[Harley-Davidson]] motorcycle and [[Brompton Bicycle|Brompton]] folded bicycle.

=== COVID-19 pandemic (2020–2023) ===
[[File:Stewardess airline.jpg|alt=as in caption|thumb|Garuda Indonesia flight attendants wearing masks during COVID-19 pandemic]]

On 14 May 2020, as a result of the [[COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia|COVID-19 pandemic]] and its [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on aviation|impacts on aviation]] and [[Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on airlines|airlines]], Garuda Indonesia furloughed 800 of its staff for at least three months. In June, it laid off 180 contracted pilots.<ref>{{cite news|date=3 June 2020|title=Garuda lays off 180 contract pilots|work=The Jakarta Post|url=https://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2020/06/03/garuda-lays-off-180-contract-pilots.html|access-date=11 June 2020}}</ref> The airline implemented face masks for crew members following health regulations to prevent the spread of the disease. On 16 June 2020, after some passengers complained that they could not see the flight attendants' faces, Garuda president director Irfan Setiaputra said the airline was planning to replace face masks with face shields for its cabin crew.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Adjie|first=Moch.

=== Financial trouble ===
Due to the prolonged pandemic, Garuda Indonesia experienced problems in operations, management, and funding. Its debt became arisen and unpaid, and the corporation is currently on the verge of bankruptcy and future closure by the government.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Idris|first=Muhammad|date=2021-10-21|title=Nasib Garuda di Ujung Tanduk|trans-title=Garuda's fate at the end of the horn|url=https://money.kompas.com/read/2021/10/21/084528126/nasib-garuda-di-ujung-tanduk|access-date=2021-10-24|website=KOMPAS.com|language=id}}</ref> In the effort to save the airline, Garuda has cut around 30 percent of its workforce, reducing its staff to 5,400 from 7,861.

At the end of 2021, Garuda reported a debt of $9.8 billion to more than 800 creditors, complicating efforts for out-of-court settlement attempts during the COVID-19 pandemic, where Garuda's income dropped by 70 percent.<ref>{{Cite web |last=wel |title=Utang Garuda Indonesia Tembus Rp140 Triliun per Kuartal III 2021 |url=https://www.cnnindonesia.com/ekonomi/20211220130602-92-736194/utang-garuda-indonesia-tembus-rp140-triliun-per-kuartal-iii-2021 |access-date=2022-06-25 |website=ekonomi |language=id-ID}}</ref> As the future replacement of Garuda Indonesia in case the corporation is deemed beyond saving, the government prepared [[Pelita Air|Pelita Air Service]], a cargo airline currently owned by [[Pertamina]], to be the successor of Garuda Indonesia as the new flag carrier of Indonesia.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Idris |first=Muhammad |date=2021-10-23 |title=Pemerintah Diam-diam Siapkan Maskapai Pelita, Andai Garuda Ditutup |trans-title=Government Secretly Prepares Pelita Airline, If Garuda Closes |url=https://money.kompas.com/read/2021/10/24/020600426/pemerintah-diam-diam-siapkan-maskapai-pelita-andai-garuda-ditutup |access-date=2021-10-24 |website=KOMPAS.com |language=id}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Idris |first=Muhammad |date=2021-10-24 |title=Profil Pelita Air, Maskapai Pengganti Andai Garuda Ditutup Halaman all |trans-title=Profile of Pelita Air, Substitute Airline If Garuda Closed All |url=https://money.kompas.com/read/2021/10/24/113100826/profil-pelita-air-maskapai-pengganti-andai-garuda-ditutup |access-date=2021-10-24 |website=KOMPAS.com |language=id}}</ref>

In May 2022, Garuda appeared in court for its attempts to reschedule its debts. Garuda filed for a 30-day delay in the proceedings, which is granted by the court. This was the second extension given by the court, as the original court date was in March 2022.<ref>{{Cite web |last=vap |title=Janji yang Terakhir, Garuda Ajukan Perpanjangan PKPU 30 Hari |url=https://www.cnbcindonesia.com/market/20220511153938-17-338213/janji-yang-terakhir-garuda-ajukan-perpanjangan-pkpu-30-hari |access-date=2022-06-25 |website=CNBC Indonesia |language=id-ID}}</ref>
