Insights

Aviation History

The A330-200 is a versatile widebody twinjet favored for medium and long-haul routes, including some ultra-long sectors; PK-GPV is part of Garuda Indonesia\'s long-haul fleet.

Fleet Rarity

Garuda Indonesia operated a modest A330-200 fleet; globally, over 600 have been built, so not rare worldwide.

Record Flights

A330-200s have been used on lengthy Asia-Europe and transpacific flights, but not for world records. PK-GPV has operated flights to Europe and Australia.

Safety & Events

The A330-200 as a type has had several notable but mostly non-fatal incidents. PK-GPV has no widely reported major incidents.

Future Outlook

Still active as of 2024, though Garuda\'s A330-200 fleet is gradually being phased out in favor of newer A330neos.
