Dear Valued Customers, As a part of our flight network expansion and in a concerted effort to improve customer service, in May 2013 Garuda Indonesia inaugurated Medan as its fourth hub, following Jakarta, Denpasar and Makassar. Aside from improving the connectivity between Sumatran cities, the inauguration of Medan as the fourth hub reinforces Garuda Indonesia’s support to the government’s “Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia's Economic Development” programme, and is in line with the opening of the new international airport in Medan; Kuala Namu. Marking Medan’s inauguration as a hub, Garuda Indonesia has launched the Medan–Batam, Medan–Padang, and Medan–Palembang routes. Future flight network development from Medan will include the launch of Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Bangkok routes. To support the flight network development from Medan, seven Bombardier CRJ1000 NextGen aircraft will be stationed in Medan later this year. This June also marks an important milestone for Garuda Indonesia as we progress onwards with our goal of joining the global airline alliance, SkyTeam. We will implement a new cutting-edge “Passenger Service System”, which will be integrated and standardized with the passenger service systems of other SkyTeam members. As a result of this, many additional facilities will be provided for ground-handling services, check-in, baggage arrangements, seat reservation, frequent flier service and much more. Lastly, we thank you for your loyalty in choosing to fly with Garuda Indonesia. Para pelanggan kami yang terhormat, Sejalan dengan pengembangan network penerbangan yang kami laksanakan dan peningkatan pelayanan kepada para pengguna jasa; pada bulan Mei 2013 yang lalu Garuda Indonesia meresmikan Medan sebagai
