Indonesia’s state-owned airline, Garuda Indonesia (Persero) Tbk., revealed its plan to ax its unproductive subsidiary companies. Speaking at the Garuda Indonesia Headquarter, the President Director of Garuda Indonesia, Irfan Setiaputra, confirmed the plan.

Nevertheless, Irfan said that it is not impossible that Garuda Indonesia will not ax some but pull them into the parent company after reviewing the previous management. The president director said that he had pocketed some recommendations for some subsidiaries to be pulled back.

The plan came after the command given by Indonesia’s Minister of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs), Erick Thohir, to consolidate the subsidiary companies and to give opportunities for other enterprises to join.

For that, the enterprises will actively participate in Erick’s plan under the Center for Private Investment (PINA). Irfan revealed that the process has entered the discussion stage.

Regarding how the plan might affect Garuda Indonesia’s profit and expenditure, Irfan could not comment any further. However, he stated that internal discussion is underway to bring a solution to the plan. One thing for sure, Garuda Indonesia will not make deliver any subsidiary company.
