JAKARTA -- Garuda Indonesia, the loss-making national airline, will attempt to turn around earnings by hiring out planes as wedding venues.

"We are planning to hold wedding ceremonies in special flights," Ari Askhara, CEO of Garuda, told Nikkei in an interview. He expects the inflight wedding service to launch as early as next year following discussions with regulators.
