Garuda privatization

About a month ago, Garuda Indonesia's aircraft crashed landing in Yogyakarta and distracted the privatization program. The following days, Rajawali Corporation---one of potential strategic investors along with Texas Pacific Group and other names, pushed government to accelerate the flag carrier's privatization arguing the need for a better management.

Today, Bisnis Indonesia reported that Garuda Indonesia has appointed Bahana Securities as the financial consultant for divestment of up to 49% shares to prospective investors amid protests from several pressure groups on the privatization plan. Bahana's partner is Ernst & Young. Garuda has also appointed Wiriadinata Wirawan as legal advisor for the privatization.
