"œIndonesia's trade relations with other countries continue to grow.

Garuda's operating revenue was up 14.4 percent to $2.39 billion between January and September 2012. The majority came from its scheduled airline, with 89.2 percent ($2.13 billion), followed by non-scheduled airline and others, with 2.5 percent and 8.2 percent respectively.
Even though the scheduled airline dominated operating revenue, the highest growth in this period was posted by the non-scheduled airline. Revenue from the non-scheduled airline jumped to $60.5 million.
