SkyTeam members Garuda Indonesia and Vietnam Airlines have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand the strategic partnership between the two national airlines.

The MoU seeks to strengthen and expand cooperation, focusing on enhancing passenger and airfreight capabilities between Vietnam and Indonesia.

Both airlines aim to increase cooperation through joint marketing campaigns, expand codeshare agreements, and explore joint initiatives in aircraft leasing, ground services, technical maintenance and cargo operations.

“This strategic partnership marks an important milestone in our ongoing commitment to strengthening regional connectivity and enhancing travel experiences for our passengers across Southeast Asia,” said Irfan Setiaputra, President and CEO of Garuda Indonesia.

“By leveraging our combined networks, this partnership will allow passengers more seamless access to key destinations across Indonesia, Vietnam, and beyond, fostering greater tourism, trade, and cultural exchange. This partnership will not only enhance connectivity but also reinforce both airlines’ positions in the global aviation market,” the Garuda chief added.

Earlier this year, Garuda received the required approvals to launch a commercial joint venture agreement with Singapore Airlines (SIA).

With this approval, the airlines will be able to potentially include operating joint revenue sharing flights between Indonesia and Singapore, coordinating flight schedules, and exploring joint sales and marketing initiatives.
