PT Garuda Indonesia, the nation’s largest listed carrier, said it can’t get new Boeing Co. 777 planes quickly enough as it tries to boost yields on long-haul routes.
“We need 777s immediately, but they’re not available right now,” Chief Executive Officer Emirsyah Satar said today in an interview in Singapore, ahead of the city-state’s airshow. “Therefore, we cannot really renew our fleet quickly enough.”
