There will be another 49 Boeing 737-800, 8 Airbus A330-200, and 10 Boeing 777-300ER. By the year of 2011, Garuda’s fleet will project to double the current fleet. Hopefully, they could reach 4 star airline by the next year, and continue rising to the highest rank for the following years. They call it “The Quantum Leap”.
