Garuda Indonesia Persero PT expects to decide between Airbus Group SE’s A350 and Boeing Co.’s 787 models this year as it prepares to order at least 20 of the large aircraft, the airline’s president director said.
The Indonesian flag carrier forecasts growth to pick up significantly in 2019 and will need the new planes to handle expected capacity, Arif Wibowo said Wednesday at the Singapore Airshow. The airline has no plan to use Airbus’s A380 superjumbo, he told Bloomberg TV earlier in the day.
