GARUDA INDONESIA – KOREAN AIR ENHANCE MARKETING CO-OPERATIONS

pele1906 — Sat, 30 Aug 2008 04:21:00 +0000

As efforts in service quality upgrades continue in order to maximize value for customers, Garuda Indonesia and Korean Air signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to “Enhance Co-operations in Marketing”, in Denpasar, Bali, on Thursday, July 24, 2008. During the occasion, the signatories were the President Director & CEO Garuda Indonesia, Emirsyah Satar and COO of Korean Airlines, Mr. Jong Hee Lee.

The new deal will allow Garuda Indonesia and Korean Air to increase seat allocations from 20 to 30 seats on the Jakarta/Denpasar – Seoul (vv) service, introduce a new destination city on the domestic service as part of the Special Prorate Agreement (SPA), implement an “interline e-ticket” strategy which will reduce travel hassles and enhance overall code-sharing management efficiency. It also explores possibilities of code-sharing on Garuda Indonesia’s and Korean Air’s domestic flights. In the area of cargo transportation, the two airlines expect to see increased volume and broader operations network.

As founder of the “Skyteam” airline alliance, Korean Air has also signaled its endorsement of Garuda Indonesia’s intention to become a member of the alliance. To date, Skyteam airline members include Aeroflot, AeroMexico, KLM/Air France, Alitalia China Southern, Continental Airlines, Czech Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Korean Air, Northwest Airlines, Air Europe, Copa Airlines and Kenya Airways.

According to Emirsyah Satar, Garuda Indonesia has set its sight on becoming a four star airline by 2009 and a five star airline by the following year. To this end, Garuda Indonesia has never ceased improving the performance of various aspects in the organization, including areas of operations and service. “And by entering the Skyteam alliance we are closer to achieving our targets”, he added.

Garuda Indonesia and Korean Air have already begun code-sharing on the Jakarta-Seoul (vv) service. Flying seven times a week and operating a A-330, Korean Air acts as the operating party (the airline flying the code-sharing route), while Garuda Indonesia, as the marketing party, sells seats based on agreed allocations.

Code-sharing on the Denpasar-Seoul (vv) service entitles both to act as ‘operating party’ and ‘marketing party’ towards its code-sharing partner. On this service, Garuda Indonesia flies 5 times a week, and Korean Air, 4 times a week. Both use an A-330.

Meanwhile, both airlines have also agreed to enter a Special Prorate Agreement (SPA) for service beyond Seoul, in which both airlines will be able to cover more destinations in Japan, the US and South Korea. In the partnership, Garuda Indonesia operates on the Jakarta-Seoul sector, while for destinations beyond Seoul – destinations in Japan (Tokyo, Nagoya, Fukuoka and Osaka), the US (Los Angeles, New York, Washington and Chicago) and South Korea (to Kwangju and Pusan) will be served by Korean Air.

Enjoy All-Business Class Comfort With Singapore Airlines To Los Angeles

pele1906 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 17:06:43 +0000

Less than three months after Singapore Airlines launched its non-stop all-Business Class flights to New York (Newark), the Airline has introduced this new service to Los Angeles.

SQ38 departed Singapore today at 1611hrs and is expected to arrive in Los Angeles at 1735hrs. The return flight, SQ37, will depart Los Angeles at 2115hrs and arrive in Singapore at 0545hrs on 12 August 2008 (all times local).

Singapore Airlines is the first to operate all-Business Class services between Asia and the USA, offering customers the convenience of a non-stop service coupled with the Airline’s award-winning premium products and services.

The newly configured Airbus A340-500 is fitted with 100 of Singapore Airlines’ new Business Class seats. Measuring over 76cm in width, the Business Class seat is almost 50 percent wider than most products currently offered in this class.

Seats are arranged in a forward facing, 1-2-1 configuration that offers all customers direct access to the aisle. Every seat also has a fixed back shell that extends to the sides for added privacy.

The innovative design sees the seat transforming into a full-flat bed for sleeping or simply to lounge in while enjoying over 1,000 on-demand options available on KrisWorld, the inflight entertainment system. Customers can also entertain themselves with their personal audio and video content from their iPod or iPhone on KrisWorld.

KrisWorld also transforms into the customer’s own office in the sky with its suite of office applications, based on Sun Microsystem’s StarOffice platform, that allows them to work without a laptop.

For the discerning epicurean traveller, there is World Gourmet Cuisine, featuring signature dishes designed by the Airline’s International Culinary Panel of world-renowned chefs.

In-between meals, customers can head to the Passenger Corner to pick up snacks and drinks or socialise during the flight.

For now, the all-Business Class A340-500 operates three times weekly to Los Angeles (on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays), with daily services from 21 September 2008 onwards.

Singapore Airlines Launches Automated Document Check Facility

pele1906 — Thu, 21 Aug 2008 16:37:01 +0000

Singapore Airlines is the first airline to use the Automated Document Check facility at Singapore Changi Airport. Jointly developed by experts from eleven Star Alliance member carriers, this system simplifies the task of checking travel documents requirements.

The Automated Document Check facility processes all visa, travel and immigration requirements of the countries in the customer’s itinerary and eliminates time-consuming manual verification by check-in staff.

“In short, our customers will spend less time at the check-in counter, even if his trip takes him through many countries and he can travel with peace of mind that he has all the necessary documents with him”, says Mr Yap Kim Wah, Senior Vice President Product and Services for Singapore Airlines.

Presently, when customers present the travel documents they have prepared, check-in staff will manually ascertain that the customers have prepared all the relevant travel and visa requirements for all their destinations. This is necessary as customers without the required travel documents can be turned away at his destination.

With the Automated Document Check facility, the system evaluates all the travel documentation prepared and carried by the customer, and gives a “Yes” or “No” response to inform the check-in staff if the customer has all the required documents to proceed with his journey. It presents travel warnings, conditions and visa requirements on the screen in a simple format that is customized for the customer’s journey. This is possible as the facility contains an extensive up-to-date database containing rules for every country. Nevertheless, customers are still responsible for preparing and ensuring that they have the necessary documents prior to their travel.

Singapore Airlines is the first airline in the world to implement this Automated Document Check facility, with other Star Alliance member carriers planning to use this product in the future.
