Garuda Indonesia Airlines is in Singapore with one of its new Boeing 737-800s to promote plans to expand its capacity threefold by 2014. Dubbed Quantum Leap, the five-year plan begins in earnest this year, as Garuda takes delivery of 23 new B737-800s and a single A330-200.

“We’re planning to add 10 domestic routes this year, increase frequencies on regional services including Singapore and Hong Kong,” said Garuda president and CEO Emirsyah Satar. “These new aircraft will support our expansion plans, which are in line with our strategy to increase the number of domestic departures by over 150 percent, to 2,072 per week, and international departures more than threefold, to 1,222 a week, by 2014.”
