Garuda Indonesia Offers 170,000 Free Domestic Seats for Travellers Flying From 10 Countries

JAKARTA, Sept 3, 2026 - (ACN Newswire) - Garuda Indonesia is offering 170,845 domestic roundtrip seats at no additional fare to eligible international passengers flying to Indonesia from 14 origin cities across 10 countries, as the national flag carrier seeks to encourage travellers to extend their journeys beyond the country’s main international gateways.

Available for travel from 1 August to 30 November 2026, the Free Domestic Flight program connects Garuda Indonesia’s international network with destinations across the archipelago, allowing eligible passengers holding roundtrip international tickets to Indonesia to add a domestic roundtrip journey as part of their itinerary.

Carrying the spirit of #DiscoverMoreIndonesia, the initiative is designed to encourage international arrivals to visit more than one destination during a single trip, supporting longer stays and a wider distribution of tourism spending beyond major gateways such as Jakarta and Denpasar.

The program also provides additional connectivity for members of the Indonesian diaspora, Indonesian migrant workers and Indonesian citizens returning from overseas who wish to continue their journeys to their home regions or other destinations across the country.

Garuda Indonesia Marketing Group Head Prina Eka Putri said the initiative strengthens Indonesia’s travel proposition by combining the airline’s international reach with the breadth of its domestic network.

“Indonesia offers far more than a single destination. By making onward domestic travel easier, we want international travellers to stay longer, explore more regions and experience more of what Indonesia has to offer,” Prina said.

She added that the integration of international and domestic connectivity provides Garuda Indonesia with a differentiated proposition as regional destinations compete for international visitor traffic.

“The proposition is simple: come to Indonesia, then discover more of Indonesia. Our network allows us to make that journey increasingly seamless and valuable for travellers,” she said.

Garuda Indonesia Southeast Asia Branch Manager and Head of the Free Domestic Flight Project Management Office Agny Gallus Pratama said the allocation of more than 170,000 seats was designed to increase the potential economic value generated by each international arrival.

“The opportunity is not only to bring more travellers into Indonesia, but to enable each arrival to reach more destinations,” Gallus said. “When visitors travel further and stay longer, the economic impact can extend to hotels, restaurants, local transportation, tourism operators and MSMEs across the regions.”

By connecting international traffic more directly with its domestic network, Garuda Indonesia expects the program to help disperse visitor flows and tourism spending more widely across Indonesia.

The initiative also supports the airline’s competitiveness in international markets by leveraging the breadth of its domestic network to offer travellers easier access to multiple destinations within a single Indonesia itinerary.

Through this international-to-domestic connectivity, Garuda Indonesia aims to create greater value from each international arrival while enabling more destinations and local tourism ecosystems to benefit from the movement of international travellers.
