126 News GARUDA INDONESIA NEWS GARUDA INDONESIA PARTICIPATES IN SAFETY DRILL On January 23, 2019 Garuda Indonesia held a special evacuation drill, also known as a safety drill, at the Garuda Indonesia Training Center (GITC) in Duri Kosambi, Cengkareng. While such events typically only involve cabin crew, this was a special occasion that also involved the company’s line of directors. “Safety is crucial, and is a high concern for us. It is not just about meeting one’s requirement for a licence, but also about making it a culture – a safety culture,” said the CEO of PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. Ari Askhara. The directors’ participation in the safety drill, according to Ari, reflects just how important it is to pay attention to safety videos and the cabin crew’s directions on safety mechanisms, especially on how to put on a life vest, in case of any accidents or incidents. Ari also added that this safety drill event is part of a series of events held under the airline’s Safety Day programme, which took place in the auditorium of Garuda Indonesia headquarters in Garuda City Center, Central Jakarta, in December 2018. The programme aims to increase safety awareness and safety engagement among all members of the Garuda Indonesia Group, and to nurture the aforementioned safety culture. Ari said that he plans to hold a similar event that will involve clients and platinum members of Garuda Indonesia in the near future. “Safety adalah masalah yang krusial dan menjadi concern kami, bukan sekadar memenuhi license, melainkan menjadikannya budaya—safety culture,” kata Direktur Utama Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk., Ari Askhara. Keikutsertaan jajaran direksi dalam safety drill, menurut Ari, untuk menunjukkan betapa pentingnya menyimak video atau arahan pramugari mengenai mekanisme penyelamatan, terutama penggunaan life vest, saat terjadi kecelakaan maupun insiden.
