As of this week, the Garuda Indonesia office at Schiphol, responsible for sales throughout Europe, will be led by Dimas Nugroho as the new General Manager Europe of the well-known airline. “I’m thrilled to be back in Amsterdam, a city that holds a special place in my heart after finishing my studies here in 2022,” says Nugroho. “Returning to this vibrant city as part of Garuda Indonesia is both a personal and professional milestone for me. My time in Amsterdam has given me a deep appreciation for the culture and dynamic business environment. I am excited to bring that experience to my new role.” He continues: ‘The growth potential in business, tourism and other sectors between the Netherlands and Indonesia is enormous. Our two countries share a long history and strong ties. I believe there are countless opportunities to further improve our connectivity. There is also a deep cultural exchange and mutual understanding that we can continue to build on.” Rick Wouters, Sales Manager Europe, is delighted with the arrival of Nugroho. ‘Dimas joins our Dutch team at a good time. In addition to Garuda Indonesia’s own fortnightly non-stop flight between Amsterdam and Jakarta, the code share agreement with KLM on the same route has enabled us to significantly expand our product. Thanks to our industry partners in the Netherlands and in Europe, this is going to be a great year.’ Garuda Indonesia is committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety and service. Nugroho is confident that they, together with his team and valued travel partners, will contribute to the growth of traffic between the two countries.
