About
Citilink is Indonesia's second-largest low-cost carrier and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Garuda Indonesia, the national flag carrier. Headquartered in Jakarta, Citilink operates over 330 daily flights serving 50+ destinations across Indonesia and select international routes to Southeast Asia, Timor-Leste, and seasonal services to Jeddah for pilgrimage traffic.
Established in 2001 as a low-cost brand within Garuda Indonesia, Citilink became a separate operating subsidiary in 2012 with its own airline codes, branding, and fleet. The airline operates an all-Airbus fleet consisting primarily of A320 family aircraft (both CEO and NEO variants), with ATR 72-600 turboprops for regional routes and A330-900neo for long-haul pilgrimage flights.
Unlike many ultra-low-cost carriers, Citilink includes 20 kg of checked baggage on domestic A320 flights, making it more generous than typical budget airlines in the region. The airline serves as the low-cost complement to Garuda Indonesia, offering affordable connectivity throughout the Indonesian archipelago.
