National flag carrier Garuda Indonesia gives green light for French airline Britair pilots to temporarily work with the company in near future, an executive said.

“As long as the pilots are qualified and meet our standard, they can work with us,” Garuda vice president communications Pujobroto told The Jakarta Post in a text message.

He said that Garuda implements the International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) standard in every respect, including pilots, equal with European giants such as Air France-KLM, British Airways and Lufthansa.

Previously, a Britair spokeswoman said the company was consulting its pilots to see if they were interested before exploring options with Garuda. Britair, owned by the Air France-KLM group, is currently under pressure to reduce its workforce.

The parent group has launched a deep restructuring program and seeks to eliminate 5,000 positions, including 450 pilots, without firing anyone if possible.
