"Up to now, the case is still open in the Court," he said.Aside from the United States, Thomas said that Garuda Indonesia is also facing a request for PKPU in France.

"There has been no decision from the Paris Court, and the company always coordinates with the related lawyers regarding the handling of this legal process," he said.Thomas added that in February 2025, Garuda Indonesia also filed a cassation legal effort to the Supreme Court regarding the appeal decision against Greylag Goose Leasing 1410 Designated Activity Company and Greylag Goose Leasing 1446 Designated Activity Company. This cassation request is also still in process. "There has been no legally binding decision regarding this legal case," said Thomas.Currently, according to Thomas, Garuda Indonesia is also facing a lawsuit from PT Royal Shafira Wisata against its subsidiary, PT Citilink Indonesia. This lawsuit is still in the examination process at the Central Jakarta District Court. "Undergoing the third mediation stage according to the prevailing laws and regulations," he said.By the end of this month, Garuda Indonesia will receive a US$1.4 billion or Rp23.6 trillion capital injection from Danantara. This capital will be disbursed at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday, November 12, 2025.Thomas detailed that 37 percent or Rp8.7 trillion of this fund is for Garuda Indonesia's working capital, which includes aircraft maintenance and repair costs. Meanwhile, 63 percent or Rp14.9 trillion is for Citilink's working capital.Regarding the capital in Citilink, Thomas said that Rp11.2 trillion is for working capital and Rp3.7 trillion is for the payment of aircraft fuel purchase debts.In the previous announcement, the capital from Danantara to Garuda Indonesia will be determined at the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on Wednesday, November 12, 2025.This additional capital is implemented because Garuda is expected to not record positive equity until November 2025, thus hindering access to funding and posing the potential for delisting from the Indonesia Stock Exchange. On the other hand, Garuda is also under pressure due to aircraft maintenance and restoration that have lowered the company's and Citilink's performance.Garuda Indonesia recorded a loss of US$180.7 million or Rp3 trillion (exchange rate 16,654 per US dollar) until the third quarter of 2025. This loss decreased from the same period last year, which was US$129.6 million or Rp2.1 trillion.Editor's Choice: Danantara Cuts Capital Injection for Garuda Indonesia to US$1.4 BillionClick here to get the latest news updates from Tempo on Google News
