Garuda Indonesia posticipa il Jakarta-Londra

Il nuovo volo diretto debutterà a maggio 2014

Dovrà attendere ancora il lancio del primo volo diretto Jakarta-Londra di Garuda Indonesia. Il problema è la pista dell'aeroporto della capitale indonesiana, che dovrà sostenere degli ammodernamenti per supportare il nuovo servizio. Il volo partirà dunque, salvo imprevisti, a maggio 2014, sei mesi dopo il debutto inizialmente previsto. GuidaViaggi

Io ho visto sabato 8 marzo 2014, alle 9:50 am, arrivare un A330 della Garuda Airlines ad Amsterdam, e stavo imbarcando Easyjet dai gate H.
 
Dopo 6 anni di attesa sono riusciti ad avere finalmente lo slot a LHR.
I voli non-stop(5xw) dovrebbero partire il 31 marzo.

Garuda Indonesia to offer non-stop flights from Heathrow to Jakarta

Garuda Indonesia is to offer the first non-stop flights from the UK to Indonesia from the end of March.
The carrier current flies to Jakarta from London’s Gatwick airport, with a stop in Amsterdam enroute.
But as reported by Business Traveller in November, flights will move to Heathrow from March 31, and become non-stop in the process.
Garuda will also increase the service from three to five flights per week, operated with B777-300ER aircraft.
Heathrow said that the slot agreement with Garuda Indonesia took six years to come to fruition, adding that the airport currently has a queue of 30 airlines waiting for slots.
Commenting on the move Jubi Prasetyo, Garuda’s General Manager UK & Ireland said:
“Making the move to Heathrow Airport has been an ambition of ours since joining Skyteam in March 2014.
“Heathrow’s pivotal role in servicing the alliance’s 1,052 destinations makes it an ideal departure airport for our passengers.” businesstraveller

Garuda Indonesia to suspend Heathrow service

Garuda Indonesia has revealed that it will end its thrice-weekly nonstop Jakarta-London Heathrow service, effective 28 October.
The SkyTeam carrier's senior manager of schedule management Bayu Widhiyanto tells FlightGlobal that the Boeing 777-300ERs currently deployed on the route will be placed on Jakarta-Tokyo Haneda, as well as Bali-Melbourne.
Garuda's ticketing office in London states that the carrier is restructuring its winter schedule to 2019.
FlightGlobal schedules data shows that Garuda operates Jakarta-Tokyo Haneda on a daily basis using Airbus A330s, and Bali-Melbourne eight-times weekly using the same type.

Se posso dire la mia credo che la durata del volo, O/D market, gli yield e i rapporti etnici/economici fra UK e Indonesia non siano così forti da tenere in piedi un volo così lungo.
Ovvio che se anche venissero meno due dei fattori sopracitati la flessibilità e l'offerta delle golfare sarebbe spietata nei confronti di un volo del genere.
