It looks like Garuda will fly CGK-NRT-LAX starting next year with 777-300ERs.

Garuda is currently deciding to purchase either the A350 or the 787.

Garuda's CEO openly hinted last year that Garuda might like to fly Boeing products to the US, if only that were allowed.

Accordingly, Boeing made it "a top priority" to help Garuda & the Indonesians regain the Category 1 safety rating, working closely with the FAA and various diplomatic channels.

Such gesture is sure to be "appreciated" by the Indonesians.

So will we see a 787 firm order soon from Garuda? Team Airbus is surely responding with a sweetened offer as we speak...
