I noticed today that Garuda is a Delta partner IRL. I feel like Indonesia could be a fun place to puddle jump around, plus the islands serve as a good launching point for longer distance flights to other parts of the world. Their fleet completely overlaps the existing operations as well. Just a thought...
Cheers,

I forgot to add that if there is any way I can assist in the process I'd be happy to. I don't know if that would mean compiling route information or what. I have no idea how it works but I'm willing to learn.

Thanks for offering to help Noah. The way to make this happen is to go to the Garuda real airline web site and find out where their flights originate from mostly. then, go to delta.com and find the latest timetable PDF. Near the front are the flight numbers that are code shares with Garuda. Either look in the timetable for those flights (based on origin/destination) or do a search on flightaware for the flights. Get me the flight info and I can input it. I can send you a spreadsheet to fill in with the info.
Unfortunately, our schedule database is becoming dated as we try to find a new subscription service to replace the old one (long story). so, if there are flights today or codeshares that aren't showing up in our database, this is why. The presidents are working on a solution (this affects AFVA also).

I just looked and there don't appear to be any codeshare flights based on the July Delta timetable.

Well I did find this: https://www.garuda-indonesia.com/nl/en/news-and-events/garuda-indonesia-delta-air-lines-jalin-kerjasama.page but it is over a year old and really only refers to 2 routes so maybe this is a moot point. Oh, well. Thanks for giving it some thought.

Great link. Thanks for sharing. I just added those referenced flights. I'm about to post in the airline ops channel.
