Garuda Indonesia to launch Jakarta-Tokyo flights
Garuda Indonesia will launch direct flights between Jakarta and Tokyo from Aug 31. GA884 will depart Jakarta at 11:50 p.m. and arrive in Tokyo (Narita) at 9 a.m.
The return flight, GA 885, will leave Tokyo at 12 noon and arrive in Jakarta at 17.45 p.m. The new service uses Airbus 330-200 that has a capacity of 222 passengers with a seating configuration of 36 passengers in Executive Class and 186 passengers in Economy Class.
Garuda Indonesia President and CEO Emirsyah Satar said, “In light of with the growing trade relations between the two countries, we dedicate this direct service from Jakarta-Tokyo to passengers who are traveling on business to and from both countries. This service will ultimately add to the comfort and facility of traveling between Jakarta and Tokyo, particularly for Garuda Indonesia passengers.”
Garuda Indonesia already flies to other cities in Japan from Denpasar, such as to Nagoya three times a week and to Osaka five times a week, in addition to a daily schedule to Tokyo via Denpasar.
For passengers traveling from Japan, Garuda offers a new service, namely “Immigration on-Board,” which offers passengers with immigration assistance by issuing Visa On Arrival on board.

Doesn't say whether it's Narita or Haneda in this case... Given the opening of the new international terminal at Haneda, it could be "the convenient one".

Well, since the flights begin on Aug. 31 and Haneda's international terminal doesn't open until October, I would guess that it's "the inconvenient one".

I don't get it. I flew Garuda from Narita to Jakarta back in the mid-1980s. What's the big deal?

It's Narita. Service suspended a few years back when Garuda had no cash and were banned from flying into the EU over their safety record. There is no big deal.

rainman1 - don't forget the crash in Fukuoka where they left the plane just past the end of the runway for a long time, claiming they didn't have the money to clean it up.

ilcub76 - I think that pretty much comes under my 'no cash' comment and of course the safety aspect.
