This certificate renewal validates our continued commitment to maintain a high quality of service. Indeed, we will further improve and innovate to uphold our 5-Star reputation and ensure Garuda Indonesia stays at the forefront of the global airline industry for many years to come," added Pahala.
Pahala said, "I believe that this achievement will further inspire Garuda Indonesia to remain committed and consistently strive to become even better, while it will also mark another historical moment at the beginning of 2018."
