The first Garuda Indonesia flight to Taiwan arrived at Terminal 1 of Taoyuan Airport at 6:15 a.m. on the 25th, welcomed by a water cannon salute after an eight-year hiatus. At 9:50 a.m., it departed with passengers from Taiwan bound for Jakarta. Passengers can easily connect to popular destinations such as Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, and other major cities. Garuda Indonesia’s Chief Commercial Officer Ikhsan Rosan stated that since April, with the successive launch and resumption of the Tokyo–Jakarta and Taipei–Jakarta routes, the airline now serves a total of 19 international and 33 domestic destinations. Business travelers can now enjoy more convenient connections between major cities in Asia, Australia, and beyond.

This flight is operated using a Boeing 738 aircraft, which can accommodate 12 business class passengers and 150 economy class passengers, with one flight per day, seven days a week, between Taipei and Jakarta. According to Garuda Indonesia statistics, 60% of passengers on the Taipei–Jakarta route are Taiwanese, most of whom are business travelers. With the resumption of the Taipei–Jakarta route, passengers can save time traveling between different airports and terminals, as they can complete their transfer at nearby gates within Garuda Indonesia’s dedicated terminal area. From Jakarta, travelers can also reach major cities in Australia, South Asia, and the Middle East.
