The proposed merger of Garuda Indonesia (GA, Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta) and Pelita Air (IP, Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta) will proceed only after both airlines improve their business performance, Danantara Indonesia chief operating officer, Dony Oskaria, said on October 26, 2026. He warned that combining the carriers prematurely could create additional financial and operational burdens. Danantara is prioritising the restructuring of Garuda Indonesia before proceeding with the consolidation, which would also involve Citilink (QG, Jakarta Soekarno-Hatta). The transaction was previously expected to be finalised in 2026, but no revised timeline has been announced.
