Indonesian lawmakers on Friday approved the government’s plan to top up Garuda Indonesia’s capital by 7.5 trillion rupiah ($522.43 million) this year, once the carrier reaches a debt settlement with creditors, a government official said.
The approval was decided by a group of lawmakers tasked to deliberate on the government’s strategy to save the debt-laden airline, said an aide to Arya Sinulingga, the state-owned enterprises minister.
A wider vote is typically needed to finalise the decision.
