Garuda Indonesia claims that its services will continue to operate to schedule despite an ongoing dispute with some technicians.

Technicians grouped under the Aircraft Technicians Association (ITPU) are opposed to a decision by the airline to transfer its technicians to PT Garuda Maintenance Facility Aero Asia (GMFAA). GMFAA is a new subsidiary set up to handle aircraft maintenance so that the carrier can focus on its core business.

The airline had set a 31 July deadline for the technicians to submit transfer applications to GMFAA, however the technicians have reportedly declined to join the group.
