SUPPORTING “LET’S WEAR MASK” CAMPAIGN, GARUDA INDONESIA LAUNCHES THE FIRST AIRCRAFT IN INDONESIA WITH THE SPECIAL MASK LIVERY ON AIRBUS A330-900 NEO.
JAKARTA, 07 OCTOBER, 2020 (GPN):– The national airline Garuda Indonesia officially launched the special mask livery on Airbus A330-900 Neo at Hangar 2 GMF AeroAsia (01/10). The special livery has a mask on the front (nose) of the aircraft, which also makes Garuda Indonesia as the first airlines in Indonesia with the special mask livery. The launch of the special mask livery is the part of Garuda Indonesia’s support to the government’s education program through the “Let’s Wear Mask” campaign.
President & CEO of Garuda Indonesia, Irfan Setiaputra said, “Garuda Indonesia is always committed to support the government in preventing the spread of Covid-19, one of which is through the “Let’s Wear Mask” campaign.
“It is an honor for us to become the first national airline in Indonesia with the special mask livery on our aircraft. This is also in line with our commitment in prioritizing passenger safety and comfort during the new normal era – especially in ensuring that all health protocols are implemented optimally and consistently in all lines of flight operations”.
“We realize that efforts to prevent the spread of the Covid -19 pandemic requires full support from various parties or stakeholders. Hopefully, our efforts can increase public awareness of implementing health protocols, especially through the wear of mask in daily activities”, explained Irfan.
The total number of aircrafts that will use the masked livery are about 5 fleets, these special aircrafts will serve domestic flight routes as well as international flight routes, including to Singapore and Japan. However, currently the total number of aircraft that have been designing with special livery is 1 and the rest of the aircrafts will be implemented in stages.
Furthermore, Garuda Indonesia consistently continues to ensure that the health protocols are implemented optimally in all flight operational lines, including through phsyical distancing between passengers, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for cabin crew, meals provided in mono use packaging, frequent disinfection of the aircraft cabin and through campaign towards the passenger about the air filtration system in aircraft which can filter dust, particles, and virus up to 99.97 percent.
Chairman of KPCPEN, Erick Tohir said, “We proudly appreciate Garuda Indonesia for actively promoting “Let’s Wear Mask” campaign in such a unique way. As this special livery will operate for domestic flights, in the near future there will be international flights routes using aircraft with the special mask livery. This is a great step to show people around the world that Indonesia prioritizes health care”.
Furthermore, to optimizing “Let’s Wear Mask” campaign, Garuda Indonesia opens the aircraft mask livery design competition that gives opportunities for everyone to show their creativity through design of aircraft mask livery. Those who are interested can joined with their social media platform. The four best livery mask designs and will be implemented on Garuda Indonesia aircrafts.

Garuda Indonesia COVID Awareness Pack for LevelUp 737-800
A comprehensive pack including all of Garuda’s COVID awareness-themed liveries that I made previously for the Zibo 3.31+ (using Amin Septiyadi/asviation’s GIA base), now adapted for use with the LevelUp 737-800 series.
Garuda Indonesia held a design competition in late 2020 called Fly Your Design Through The Sky (with its accompanying hashtag #FlyYourDesignWithGA), spanning the entire month of October to promote wearing masks among Indonesian people during the COVID-19 pandemic. The competition’s winning designs are featured in their fleet livery as follows: 1st and 2nd places on two of their Boeing 737-800s, 3rd on one of their Airbus A330-300s, and lastly 4th on one of their Boeing 777-300ERs.
PK-GFQ became the basis for the 1st livery design winner, designed by Jailani Sidik, a young Indonesian graphic designer/illustrator. With the title of Indonesia Pride, the design itself is a colorful representation of Indonesia’s natural diversity as well as its culture, which are all important assets of Indonesian national tourism.
PK-GFK, which became the basis of the 2nd livery design winner, sports a Batik Parang pattern on its mask, designed by the 19-year old Helena Callista. The presence of Batik Parang in this design is not only to conserve one of Indonesian heritage, but with the pattern’s meaning of perseverance. This in turn inspired its title, Terbang Tinggi dan Tetap Terlindungi (Fly High and Stay Protected).
PK-GFT became the latest 737-800 of Garuda to be painted in a COVID awareness themed livery, called #SukseskanVaksinasi (Make Vaccinations Successful) as Indonesia begins its vaccination program in early 2021. The livery features a large syringe decal painted on the back of the aircraft.
