IPB Flying More Easily With Garuda Indonesia

Bogor Agricultural University (IPB) makes a partnership with PT. Garuda Indonesia Tbk in relation to the development of Corporate Online System (COS). This is an offer of various facilities provided by PT. Garuda Indonesia Tbk to partners. "The cooperation of IPB with Garuda Indonesia is related to the development of Corporate Online System (COS). That is the offer of various facilities given by Garuda to its partners. These are example online reservations and discount. Discount applies not only to the lecturers and other staff but also students and families ", said Director of Cooperation and International Programs, Dr. Ir. Rinekso Soekmardi, M.ScF.

For ticket reservations to Garuda Indonesia, there are several booking alternatives Garuda Indonesia such as through Ticketing Office of Garuda Indonesia, Call Center and Corporate Online System (COS). Passengers should mention corporate codes to get such facilities. Dr. Ir. Rinekso Soekmardi, M.ScF stated, "In the future we will have a corporate code. For teaching staff and educational staff, the corporate code is IPBI, while for students the code is IPBIM. For the core family, the person booking must be a member of IPB.

The requirement to book is made as simple as possible. Apart from indicating the corporate code, the academic member of IPB should also carry identity cards, indicating that they are a student/lecturer/ educational staff/parents (companion) of IPB. "The requirement for an employee is certainly the identity card that s/he is an IPB staff. If traveling with a family, you must include a copy of family card. Later it is possible to reserve through the official counter of Garuda instead of ticketing agencies. So, in Bogor this is at Botanical Square or online; by entering the corporate code, you can directly book there," said Dr. Rinekso Soekmadji.

As for the online booking guide, socialization has been made by Garuda Indonesia in IPB campus. "Our students are from various regions. It is expected that they use those facilities because when flying with Garuda we do not only get a discount but we also develop the domestic airline." he explained.

In addition to the students, lecturers and other staff of the Centers and Departments become the target of this cooperation as they frequently take business travels.  In addition to this, one of the reasons behind this partnership is the impetus to make contributions to the national economic development. "As the children of the nation we have to raise our national companies. With our national companies, we take part in contributing to the national economic development and the benefits to the country would be returned to the people or wider society." (Mtd)
