KOMPAS.com - State oil and gas company Pertamina said it is ready to meet the aviation turbine (avtur) fuel needs of Garuda Indonesia planes flying to five foreign destinations. Pertamina Marketing and Commercial Director A Faisal made the statement after signing a cooperation agreement with Garuda Operations Director Ari Sapari for the supply of avtur fuel here on Wednesday.
The agreement would ensure the supply of avtur to Garuda at more competitive prices, Faisal said. "The cooperation is part of Pertamina’s strategic steps to expand its business in the supply of avtur in the five countries," he said.
The five foreign destinations are Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Dubai. Ari Sapari meanwhile said the cooperation was part of Garuda’s commitment to develop its synergy with other state firms.
"In line with Garuda’s plan to increase its fleet to 116 planes until 2014 we have received assurance of avtur supplies," he said. The contract would last until 2011, he said.
"But it is likely the cooperation will be extended," he said. Faisal said Pertamina would cooperate with oil companies in the five countries in refueling Garuda planes.
Garuda is flying to 24 foreign cities, including those in Southeast Asia, Australia, China, Japan, South Korea and the Middle East.
