The Citilink fleet is slated to grow by eight aircraft from 24 A320s at the end of 2013 to 32 A320s by the end of 2014. Mr Satar says Garuda mainline plans to end 2014 with a fleet of 128 aircraft compared to an anticipated 110 aircraft at the end of 2013. That’s our cruising speed,” Garuda CEO Emirsyah Satar told CAPA in Nov-2013 on the sidelines of the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines ( AAPA) Assembly of Presidents. Garuda expects group passenger numbers will be up another 20% in 2014, roughly matching the growth for 2013, while ASKs will be up between 15% and 20%.
