In line with the commitment to develop its air cargo services business, Garuda Indonesia continues to deliver many innovations in air cargo services. One of them is the expansion of Cargo Service Center outlets in all over Indonesia. At present, there are more than 130 outlets located in many regions in Indonesia.

Garuda Indonesia is also developing a cargo freighter service to optimize the potential of cargo transportation, especially for the logistics sector in East Indonesia, which has been constrained by limited cargo distribution channels.
