Garuda Indonesia is the flag carrier of Indonesia, headquartered at Soekarno–Hatta International Airport near Jakarta. At its peak from the late 1980s to the mid 1990s, Garuda operated an extensive network of flights all over the world, with regularly scheduled services to Adelaide, Cairo, Fukuoka, Johannesburg, Los Angeles, Paris, Rome, and other cities in Europe, Australia and Asia. Garuda Indonesia operated the McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 from 1976 until 2005. It was the airline's first wide-body aircraft. During its nearly three decades in service, the DC-10 served high-density and long-haul flights to Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, as well as crucial Hajj pilgrimage charters. In 2005, Garuda retired all remaining DC-10-30 aircraft.
