4 Salam Garuda Indonesia SALAM GARUDA INDONESIA M. Arif Wibowo President & CEO PT Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk. Dear Valued Customers, The ‘Aircraft Interiors Expo’ and ‘World Travel Catering & Onboard Service 2015 Expo’ are the world’s largest events dedicated to airport interiors and travel catering. Held recently in April in Hamburg, Germany, this year’s event was especially significant for Garuda Indonesia. During this prestigious event that sets the standard for the industry, Garuda Indonesia was honoured with the ‘Outstanding Food Service in Asia 2015’ award from Pax International Magazine – a leading source for travel industry news based in Canada that provides detailed coverage of passenger experience, cabin service and onboard catering. Winners of the award were elected through an online balloting process on the magazine’s website that invites the participation of bloggers and Twitter users from all over the world. Far from being our end goal, this award is a testament to our ongoing service improvements and, at the same time, recognises the dedication and hard work of everyone at Garuda Indonesia, as well as the trust and loyalty of our most valued customers. Meanwhile, in our pursuit to become a Green Airline, as part of our Green Action programme, in March 2015, Garuda Indonesia once again collaborated with the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) Indonesia in organising Earth Hour, a campaign that has been held annually since 2009 to promote awareness of the importance of protecting the planet and saving the earth from global warming. We are delighted that the Earth Hour event has since encouraged all members of the Garuda Indonesia family to actively participate in the conservation of their environment, wherever they may be. Lastly, I would like to thank all our loyal customers for your continued support and for always flying with Garuda Indonesia.
