Terminal 3 was awash with colour and the strains of traditional Indonesian music to celebrate the arrival of Garuda Indonesia's inaugural Heathrow service on March 31. The carrier has switched its London operation from Gatwick and increased frequency to five times per week.

The service from London is non-stop. Garuda's flights to and from Gatwick had routed via Amsterdam.
