Garuda Indonesia appears to be in two minds about its non-stop service to London Heathrow, with the carrier now confirming that the recently axed route will, in fact, be coming back from November 27 this year.
Responding to a user on Twitter earlier this week, the airline confirmed that non-stop flights between Jakarta and London Heathrow – cut on October 23 and replaced with a routing that goes via Amsterdam – will now be resumed.
The service will once again be operated by the airline’s Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, according to the airline’s current schedule, however unfortunately this won’t be one of Garuda’s 777s outfitted with a first class cabin, which served the route prior to its cancellation. Instead, this aircraft now flies the airline’s Tokyo service.
Instead the route will be served by Garuda’s two-class 777-300ER, industry website airlineroute.net reports.
Flights will operate three times per week on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays with the following schedule:
| Flight No. | From | To | Departs | Arrives | Days |
| GA86 | Jakarta (CGK) | London (LHR) | 1205 | 2000 | Tue, Thu, Sat |
| GA87 | London (LHR) | Jakarta (CGK) | 2155 | 1910+1 | Tue, Thu, Sat |
Prior to its cancellation last month, the non-stop service between Jakarta and London Heathrow was still a relatively young operation, having only come into effect from October 2017.
Prior to this, the airline routed its flights to Heathrow via Singapore.
