Unfortunately, Garuda is fighting off bankruptcy, so it is a double edged sword for them... fly and not even cover the fuel cost, or p off people by cancelling un-economical flights.
February return flight in Feb that I was on had maybe 40 people on it so I can see the problem they... that would lose a fortune for a 266-330 seat Airbus.
So we have two choices... lose a carrier to Australia, and therefore competition, or put up with occaisional, but very upsetting, incidences like this. The choice is ours to a large extent.
