Groundhog Day for Garuda s creditors

3 minute read A technician walks as he checks Garuda Indonesia s Airbus A330-200 airplane at the GMF AeroAsia, at Soekarno-Hatta International airport near Jakarta, Indonesia, March 13, 2019. REUTERS/Willy Kurniawan - RC1C9E7F4490 One year ago, creditors of Garuda Indonesia (GIAA.JK) gave the national carrier approval for a three-year extension on a $500 million sukuk, or Islamic bond. Now the airline has deferred those payments and is asking for a wider standstill . A government official says its debt is around $4.5 billion and needs to be restructured to one-third or less of that amount for the company to survive. Garuda was in poor shape pre-pandemic, and its long effort to avoid bankruptcy has come to a head. Even the government, the company’s majority owner, has cut back on support after it breached covenants. Aircraft lessors have the most to lose, and foreign debt-holders will complicate any resolution.
